F. Folkmann, CHEMICAL EFFECTS IN CR CONTAINING SAMPLES MEASURED BY THE K-BETA K-ALPHA INTENSITY RATIO AND THE K-BETA ENERGY SHIFT/, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 109, 1996, pp. 39-41
The intensity ratio of Cr K-beta/K-alpha has been measured for various
compounds with Cr of different valencies, bombarding thick crystallin
e samples with 2.5 MeV protons and using a Si(Li) detector. A systemat
ic increase of this ratio with the valency of Cr is observed. It is di
scussed to which extent the results of this intensity ratio are reprod
ucible or could be affected by attenuation in the sample. A correlated
shift to higher mean energy of the K-beta line is also observed.
