Variation of K X-Ray Fluorescence Cross-Sections for Elements in the Range 22 ≤ Z ≤ 29 at Various Energies

Abstract

K X-ray fluorescence cross-sections were experimentally determined for elements in the range 22 ≤ Z ≤ 29 at various energies using secondary excitation method. K X-rays emitted by samples were counted by a Si(Li) detector with resolution 160 eV at 5.9 keV. Obtained values were compared with the calculated values. The experimental values are systematically higher than the theoretical values.
