The Semi-Empirical Determination of K  X-ray, KLL Auger Line and L subshell level widths for 3d transition elements at 59.5 keV

Abstract

The emission of X-rays in K  and KLL Auger energy regions were analyzed for transition metals by usingenergy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) system. To acquire more information in this energyregion, the semi-empirical determination of K  , Auger line-widths and the L sub-shell level widths wereperformed. Since K shell is a core shell for transition metals and it is not easily be affected by valenceshell electronic distributions, K shell fluorescence yields were used for the semi-empirical determinations.In the experiment, elemental form of transition metals were excited by 59.5 keV -rays from 241 Amannular source and the emitted X-ray photons were counted by Ultra-LEGe detector with a resolution of150 eV at 5.9 keV. The obtained results were compared with the other studies in the literature.
