Chemical Shifts of Kα and Kβ1,3 X-ray Emission Spectra for Oxygen Compounds of Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu with WDXRF

Abstract

Chemical shifts and full widths at half maximum intensity (FWHM) of K and K 1,3 x-ray emission lines and differences of full widths at half maximum intensity ( FHWM) using metallic element as reference for these emission lines were measured for oxygen compounds of elements in the range 22 Z 29 with a Wavelength-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF). It was also found larger chemical shifts and FWHM for K 1,3 lines than those of K ones. It should be noted that the magnitude of chemical shifts increases with increase in the numbers of ligand atom.

Measurement of K Level Natural Line Widths, Kα1 and Kα2 X-Ray Line Widths

“…Various researchers have shown that the characteristic K X-rays are more affected by the chemical state of the X-ray emitting atom than L X-rays (Söğüt et al, 2002 and1997;Cevik et al, 2005;Sögüt, 2009;Boydaş et al, 2015). However, the peak widths and energies, the satellite peaks and the formation of the dependent emission rates are affected by the detector element speciation.…”
