Abstract
The K shell x-ray intensity ratios Kβ/Kα for 9 elements in the atomic range 40 ≤ Z ≤ 50 have been determined for an excitation energy of 59.537 keV. The K-L total vacancy transfer probabilities (ηKL) for these elements have been determined, also. K x-rays emitted by samples were detected using a high resolution Si(Li) semiconductor detector. The measured values were compared with the theoretical values calculated using Scofield's tables based on the Hartree-Slater and Hartree-Fock theories, and available experimental values. The agreement of measured values of intensity ratios and vacancy transfer probabilities were quite satisfactory with theoretical calculations.
Key words: K shell intensity ratio, vacancy transfer probability, X-ray.
