  • Resonant Raman scattering contribution to attenuation of x rays at energies in lower vicinity of the K -shell ionization threshold of some elements
    Sanjeev Kumar, Veena Sharma, Sunil Kumar, Muhanad Alrakabi, D. Mehta, Nirmal Singh
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2009
    Attenuation of the x rays and γ rays in the T22i, N41b, T69m, Y70b, and L71u elements have been measured with special emphasis for the x ray energies (Ein) in lower vicinity of the K shell ionization threshold (BK) of the element. The incident photon beam is obtained from decay of the F55e, A241m, and C57o radioisotopes, and fluorescence of the V23, Y70b, L71u, W74, O76s, and T90h targets excited by the x rays and γ rays from the radioisotopes. The measurements were performed using energy dispersive setups involving Ge detectors. The measured attenuation coefficients agree with the available theoretical values except at the photon energies with (BK-Ein) less than or nearly equal to the K-shell width (ΓK), where significant positive deviations as large as factor of 2 have been observed. In view of reliability of the available theoretical cross sections for the photoionization and the photon scattering processes, the magnitude of positive alteration at the photon energy in lower vicinity of the ionization threshold is attributed to the K shell resonant Raman scattering (RRS) process and the corresponding cross sections have been deduced. Possible matrix effects in the energy dispersive x ray spectrometry due to RRS are also discussed.
  • L -subshell vacancy decay processes for elements with 52≤Z≤57 following ionization using Mn Kα x rays
    Veena Sharma, Sanjeev Kumar, D. Mehta, Nirmal Singh
    Physical Review A Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics, 2008
    The ${L}_{i}$- $(i=1--3)$ subshell x-ray spectra for the $_{52}\text{T}\text{e}$, $_{53}\text{I}$, $_{55}\text{C}\text{s}$, $_{56}\text{B}\text{a}$, and $_{57}\text{L}\text{a}$ elements excited by Mn $K\ensuremath{\alpha}$ (${E}_{K{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{2}}=5.888\text{ }\text{keV}$ and ${E}_{K{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{1}}=5.899\text{ }\text{keV}$) x rays have been investigated using the $^{55}\text{F}\text{e}$ radioisotope in conjunction with a Cr absorber. A low-energy Ge detector was used to measure the $L$ x rays at an emission angle $\ensuremath{\psi}=126\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$, where the second-order Legendre polynomial term ${P}_{2}$ $(\text{cos}\text{ }\ensuremath{\psi})$ associated with the angular distribution is annulled. In the case of the $_{56}\text{B}\text{a}$ and $_{57}\text{L}\text{a}$ elements, alignment of the ${L}_{3}$-subshell vacancy states was investigated through angular distribution measurements of the emitted ${L}_{3}$-subshell x rays. The $L{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{1,2}$ and $L{\ensuremath{\beta}}_{2,15}$ x-ray groups are observed to be nearly isotropic, while the data for the pure $Ll$ $({L}_{3}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{M}_{1})$ x-ray emission are indicative of a small anisotropic trend, though within experimental error. The integral x-ray fluorescence cross sections are deduced and interpreted in terms of ${L}_{i}$-subshell photoionization cross sections, fluorescence and Coster-Kronig yields, and x-ray emission rates. The ${L}_{2}$-subshell x-ray cross sections for $_{57}\text{L}\text{a}$ measured using targets of lanthanum (III) fluoride and dilanthanum (III) trioxide are found to be unusually higher. The enhancement is observed due to the contribution of the ${L}_{2}$-subshell radiative resonant Raman scattering (RRS) of Mn $K\ensuremath{\alpha}$ x rays having energy around the ${L}_{2}$-subshell binding energy of $_{57}\text{L}\text{a}$ in these compounds. Also, the observed enhancement of the ${L}_{3}$-subshell x-ray cross sections in $_{57}\text{L}\text{a}$ is suggestive of intrashell vacancy transfer via ${L}_{2}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{L}_{3}$ Coster-Kronig RRS transitions. The ${L}_{2}$-subshell total RRS cross sections in $_{57}\text{L}\text{a}$ have been deduced from the present measured attenuation coefficients for Mn $K\ensuremath{\alpha}$ x rays in ${\text{La}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{3}$ and ${\text{LaF}}_{3}$. The ${L}_{2}$-subshell radiative and total RRS cross sections in $_{57}\text{L}\text{a}$ using ${\text{LaF}}_{3}$ are higher by $\ensuremath{\sim}30%$ than those using ${\text{La}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{3}$. The contribution of processes predicted in the framework of Mozouchi's four-band model involving inner subshells along with the valence and conduction bands of these wide-band-gap insulator compounds is likely to account for the observed results. The ${L}_{2}$-subshell radiative and ${L}_{2}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{L}_{3}$ Coster-Kronig yields and the ratio of the ${L}_{2}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{M}_{4}$ and ${L}_{2}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{N}_{4}$ radiative RRS intensities in both La compounds are found to be same and are consistent with values from photoexcited vacancy decay. The ${L}_{2}$-subshell radiative RRS was also observed to be isotropic.
  • Alignment of Mi (i=3-5) subshell vacancy states in Au79, Bi83, Th90, and U92 following photoionization by unpolarized Mn K x rays
    Sanjeev Kumar, Veena Sharma, Devinder Mehta, Nirmal Singh
    Physical Review A Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics, 2008
    Alignment of the ${M}_{3}(J=\frac{3}{2})$, ${M}_{4}(J=\frac{3}{2})$, and ${M}_{5}(J=\frac{5}{2})$ subshell vacancy states produced following photoionization in the ${M}_{i}$ $(i=1--5)$ subshells of $_{79}\mathrm{Au}$, $_{83}\mathrm{Bi}$, $_{90}\mathrm{Th}$, and $_{92}\mathrm{U}$ have been investigated through angular distribution of the subsequently emitted $M$ x rays. The unpolarized Mn $K$ x rays $({E}_{KX}=5.97\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{keV})$ from the $^{55}\mathrm{Fe}$ radioisotope were used to ionize the ${M}_{i}$ subshells and the emitted $M$ x rays were measured under vacuum using a low energy Ge detector. The $M$ x-ray spectra taken at different emission angles were normalized using the isotropically emitted $K$ shell $(J=\frac{1}{2})$ x rays measured simultaneously from a $_{23}\mathrm{V}$ thin target placed adjoining the $M$ x-ray target. The present precision measurements infer that anisotropy in the $M\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ x-ray emission shows trends and order of magnitude predicted by theoretical calculations, i.e., anisotropy parameter $({\ensuremath{\beta}}_{2})\ensuremath{\sim}0.01$. It clearly rules out strong angular dependence of the $M$ x-ray emission reported earlier. The $M$ x-ray fluorescence integral cross sections have been deduced from the measurements at an emission angle $(\ensuremath{\psi})=126\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$, where the second-order Legendre polynomial term, ${\mathrm{P}}_{2}(\mathrm{cos}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\psi})$, associated with the angular distribution polynomial is zero. The measured fluorescence cross sections are compared with those deduced using theoretical ${M}_{i}$ subshell photoionization cross sections, fluorescence yields, and Coster-Kronig transition probabilities.
