Abstract
Improvement of a commercially available soft X-ray emission spectrometer was tested by introducing a fine-pixel-sized CMOS detector. The peak width of Mg Kα-emission was reduced to 1/4 of that obtained by the CCD detector presently used. Furthermore, the differences in the energy positions of satellite lines of Mg Kα- and also Kβ-emission profiles of Mg and MgO were observed. O K-emission profile of MgO exhibited a few structures reflecting the chemical bonding state. This spectrometer easily discriminated the intensity profiles of Fe Lα,β-emission reflecting the chemical bonding states of Fe atoms in Fe, FeO, Fe3O4, and Fe2O3.
