A. Kucukonder et al., DEPENDENCE OF THE K-BETA K-ALPHA INTENSITY RATIO ON THE OXIDATION-STATE/, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 170(1), 1993, pp. 125-132
The K(beta)/K(alpha) X-ray intensity ratios were measured for pure Cr,
Mn, Co and Cu belonging to the 3 d shell as well as in their compound
s, to look for the influence of the chemical environment on the fluore
scence yield ratios. The vacancies in the K shell created by 59.5 keV
gamma-rays from an Am-241 source and the X-rays were measured using a
Ge(Li) detector. A steady increase of the K(beta)/K(alpha) intensity r
atio was observed with increasing oxidation. The present results agree
with previously published experimental data.
