Theoretical intensity distribution analysis of Kα satellites emitted from Al, Cl and K

Influence of chemical effects on Al high-resolution Kα X-ray spectra in proton and alpha particle induced X-ray spectra

“…We performed extensive literature search for low-Z elements and found that scarce data for chemical effects on Al Ka X-rays are available. Most studies on Al K X-rays have been concentrated on the comparison of aluminium and aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) spectra, focusing mostly on Al Ka [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] and to a lesser extent on Al Kb regions. [43][44][45][46]55,56 Most studies were focused on Ka and/or Kb energy shis (dened as the energy difference between the compound and metal X-rays).…”

“…In addition, relative intensities of different multiple ionization satellite (MIS) lines have also been studied. 53,54,57,58 Baun and Fischer proposed to use the intensity ratios of KαL 1 components α 4 and α 3 to Kα 1,2 as a test of oxidation on metallic targets. 59 Several papers reported relative intensities of the α 4 and α 3 satellite peaks in Al and its compounds induced by photons, 51–53 electrons 44,46 and ions.…”
