Abstract
The L-subshell X-ray production cross sections (XRPCSs) were measured for the heavy elements Lu (Z = 71) and Hf (Z = 72) induced by the bombardment of single-energy electron beams of 10 keV-30 keV. The generated X-ray spectra from the thin targets with thick carbon substrates were collected using a silicon drift detector. Corrections for excess X-rays, arising from electron multiple scattering, bremsstrahlung and backscattered electrons from the thick substrates, were performed using Monte Carlo simulations. The experimental results were compared with theoretical values based on the distorted-wave Born approximations and two sets of atomic relaxation parameters. Overall, the experimental XRPCSs of Lu and Hf are closer to the theoretical values based on the fluorescence yields and Coster-Kroning probabilities from Dirac-Hartree-Slater (DHS) calculations and emission rates from Dirac-Fock (DF) calculations within the experimental and theoretical uncertainties in the entire incident electron energy region.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
