Quantitation of the production cross-section and transition probabilities of the L and M X-ray series in the Au(0) and Au(3+) atomic environments using Total-reflection X-ray fluorescence
Measurements have been made of the relative X-ray .production cross-section ratios L./Ly, L./Lp and L./Ll using electrons of energy from 20 to 100 keV incident on thin targets of tin and gadolinium. The experimental ratios obtained are compared with theoretical values. Modification of these ratios due to the formation of double-vacancy atomic states has been calculated, but this effect on its own is not sufficient to account for the discrepancy between the L./Ll theoretical and experimental results for tin.
