Abstract
Tiny effects of collective motion of the atomic system are revealed in X-ray absorption spectrometry on free-atom samples. In construction o f an absorption cell for alkaline metal vapors the main problem is to devise vacuum-tight windows thin enough to transmit the X-ray beam, an d still resistant to the aggressive vapors. A successful operation of the cell is demonstrated by K-edge absorption spectrum of atomic rubid ium.
