The investigations on K and L X-ray fluorescence parameters of gold compounds

The study aimed to determine the chemical effects on the K and L X-ray intensity ratios and the K and L X-ray production cross sections for gold compounds. The K shell fluorescence yields and L shell average yields were also investigated. The samples were excited by 59.5 keV γ-rays from an 241Am annular radioactive source and 123.6 keV γ-rays from a 57Co annular radioactive source. K and L X-rays emitted from samples were counted by an Ultra-LEGe detector with a resolution of 0.150 keV at 5.9 keV. The experimental values were compared with theoretical, the semi-empirical and other experimental values.
