Abstract

In this study, the semi-empirical and empirical calculations of K X-ray intensity ratios, K-shell fluorescence yields, and vacancy transfer probabilities have been performed for 3d transition elements. Also, sigma(K alpha), sigma(K beta) production cross-sections, K-beta/K-alpha intensity ratios, omega(K) fluorescence yields, and eta(KL) vacancy transfer probabilities of 3d transition elements have been measured. The samples were excited by 59.5 keV gamma-rays from a Am-241 annular radioactive source. K X-rays emitted by samples were counted by an Ultra-LEGe detector with a resolution of 150 eV at 5.9 keV.
