Measurements of Coster–Kronig enhancement factors for Yb, Lu, Os and Pt elements

Atomic spectrometry update–X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

“…The fluorescent spectra collected as a function of incident energy near to the L(III) edge and was compared to recent independent data. Yilmaz et al 491 measured the L spectra of Lu, Os, Pt and Yb at energies in the range 9.572-14.384 keV to calculate absolute values of L X-ray cross-sections that incorporated the enhancement due to the Coster-Kronig effect. The experimental enhancement factors tended to be smaller than those predicted by theory.…”

Calculation of Coster-Kronig Enhancement Factors of the Some Elements in the Atomic Number Range 50 ≤ Z ≤ 59

“…From L shell studies, one can see, due to the CosterKronig transitions, there is an enhancement up to 2-20% for theoretical; up to 1-24% for experimental each element. Also, this has been observed in our earlier both theoretical and experimental studies [17]. Thus, it must be taken into account in quantitative XRF cross-sections.…”

“…Theoretical and experimental Coster-Kronig enhancement factors of the some elements in atomic number range 66 ≤ Z ≤ 72 and 74 ≤ Z ≤ 90 have been investigated [15,16]. In a previous work, we investigated theoretical and experimental Coster-Kronig enhancement factors for Yb, Lu, Os, Pt elements [17].…”
