Kβ Emission Spectra Research Articles

Soft X-Ray Spectra of Lead Sulfide

The Kβ emission spectrum, the K absorption spectrum and the LII,III emission spectrum for sulfur in PbS and the Pb NVIIOV, NVIOIV, NVIOV lines are obtained with a bent quartz crystal spectrograph or a grazing incidence spectrograph. The sulfur spectra are compared with the energy band structure calculated by Lin and Kleinman, and a good correspondence is found between them.

X-ray kβ emission spectra and energy levels of compounds of 3D- transition metals—I: Oxides

The Kβ emission spectra of calcium, titanium, chromium, manganese and iron and oxidic compounds of these elements were investigated by means of the fluorescent method. The origin of the five main Kβ lines is discussed, their wavelengths are given and used to construct composite energy schemes. The dependence of the level positions on the chemical bond is discussed.

X-ray kβ emission spectra and energy levels of compounds of 3D-transition metals-II: Non-oxidic compounds

The Kβ emission spectra of various calcium, titanium, chromium, manganese and iron compounds were investigated by means of the fluorescent method. The origin of the lines found experimentally is discussed, their energies are given and used to construct composite energy diagrams. The dependence of the level positions on the chemical bond is shown, and an extrapolation is carried out to determine the charge on the metal ions in the pure metal.
