Ae. Pillay et M. Peisach, MEASUREMENT OF ENHANCED L AND M X-RAY YIELDS FROM H-1(2)-2(2)+ MOLECULE-ION BEAMS AND ALPHA-PARTICLES, IN THE ENERGY-RANGE OF 500-700 KEV( AND H), Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 200(2), 1995, pp. 85-94
Charge-induced X-ray emission (CHIX) has been studied using infinitely
thick, nonconducting targets of some fluorides, bombarded with hydrog
en and deuterium molecule-ion beams, and alpha-particles, in the energ
y range of 500-700 keV, where the PIXE contribution to the X-ray yield
was relatively small. Protons and deuterons with effective energies o
f 250-350 keV were obtained in this way. Continuous bombardment on the
same spot in the targets caused significant decreases in the X-ray yi
elds in some cases, as a result of target deterioration.
