It is well known that chemical bonding affects elemental x-ray emission spectra. The spectra of low atomic number elements show energy shifts which depend on the bonding of the element. To observe these shifts, a high resolution wavelength dispersive (WDS) x-ray spectrometer is required. Intensity variations of the L series can be observed with an EDS system which also show chemical effects.The L Alphal and the L L radiations are produced from a vacancy in the L III shell. Normally the L L line is about 5 to 6% of the intensity of the L Alphal line. However, in the atomic number range of Z=21 to 28, it is easily observed that the L L line becomes more intense. The L Alphal is no longer present at Z=20. These intensity changes are due to the outer electron shells of these atoms being unfilled. The L Alphal comes from the L3-M5 transition, while the L L comes from L3-M1 transition. The M5 (3d level) of the M shell is partially filled for Z=21 to 28; empty for Z<21and full for Z> 28. Holliday observed a Ti LL which was 17% greater than the Ti L Alphal.

In this review (in continuations) X-ray crystal spectrometers working on ion beams and their applications are surveyed. The present fourth part continues to describe: (i) their use for elemental analysis; (ii) their use for obtaining the information about the chemical effects in the Particle Induced X-ray Emission spectra; (iii) their use in basic research for obtaining information applied in the above relations and their applications on acelerators. We update the data of formerly discussed systems according to the changes in the world.

Azuma et al. observed planar defects in a high pressure synthesized infinitelayer compound (i.e. ACuO2 (A=cation)), which exhibits superconductivity at ~110 K. It was proposed that the defects are cation deficient and that the superconductivity in this material is related to the planar defects. In this report, we present quantitative analysis of the planar defects utilizing nanometer probe xray microanalysis, high resolution electron microscopy, and image simulation to determine the chemical composition and atomic structure of the planar defects. We propose an atomic structure model for the planar defects.Infinite-layer samples with the nominal chemical formula, (Sr1-xCax)yCuO2 (x=0.3; y=0.9,1.0,1.1), were prepared using solid state synthesized low pressure forms of (Sr1-xCax)CuO2 with additions of CuO or (Sr1-xCax)2CuO3, followed by a high pressure treatment.Quantitative x-ray microanalysis, with a 1 nm probe, was performed using a cold field emission gun TEM (Hitachi HF-2000) equipped with an Oxford Pentafet thin-window x-ray detector. The probe was positioned on the planar defects, which has a 0.74 nm width, and x-ray emission spectra from the defects were compared with those obtained from vicinity regions.

High resolution L x-ray emission spectra of Fe and Cu have been measured by 0.75 MeV/u H and He, and 0.73 MeV/u He, Si and Ar ion impacts with a crystal spectrometer. The x-ray transition energies in the Fe and Cu targets for Lι, Lη, Lα1,2, Lβ1 and Lβ3,4 diagram lines induced by light ion impacts are determined, which are in good agreement with those given in the reference. The difference in L x-ray emission spectra produced by H, He, Si and Ar ions is considered and the emission spectra for the Cu target are compared with the calculated ones based on the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method. The origin of the broadening of the Lα1,2 line to the lower energy for Si and Ar ion impacts is attributed to one 2p plus one 3d electron vacancy production.

AbstractThe electron density (ED) of a substituted 4-(indol-3-yl)-quinazoline, a newly developed anti-cancer drug, was determined from a high resolution X-ray data set measured at 100 K using synchrotron radiation. Because the structure contains a chlorine atom, which has a diffuse outer electron shell and is therefore beyond standard modeling, the influence of the model on the bond topological and atomic properties was studied following Bader's approach of ‘Atoms In Molecules’ (AIM). The expansion/contraction parameters

A two-crystal spectrometer for chemical state analysis by high-resolution x-ray fluorescence spectrometry employs hall-screw and slide mechanisms rather than gears to obtain a 2θ scanning range of 40° -147°; a Δ2θ scanning step of 10−4 deg under vacuus; a 2θ resolution of 10−4 deg in determination of an intercrystal angle with encoder-based measurement; and servomechanical control of position. The spectrometer, although simple in structure, is a powerful instrument for chemical state analysis, as demonstrated by its high resolution, precision, and stability; as demonstrated in the determination of the Kα1 lines of first transition metals with Si(220) as analyzer crystal, and in its application to a systematic study of the chemical effects on Ni Kα1 and Kα2.
