Abstract
The measurements of the L X-ray intensity ratio I(Lα)/I(Lβ), I(Lα)/I(Lγ), I(Lα)/I(Lι), I(Lβ)/I(Lγ) and I(Lι)/I(Lγ) for elements Dy, Ho, Yb, W, Hg, Tl and Pb were experimentally determined both by photon excitation, in which 59.5 keV γ-rays from a filtered radioisotope 241Am was used, and by the radioactive decay of 160Tb, 160Er, 173Lu, 182Re, 201Tl, 203Pb and 207Bi. L X-rays emitted by samples were counted by a Si(Li) detector with resolution 160 eV at 5.9 keV. Obtained values were compared with the calculated theoretical values. Theoretical values of the I(Lα/Lβ), I(Lα/Lγ), I(Lα/Lι), I(Lβ/Lγ) and I(Lι/Lγ) intensity ratios were calculated using theoretically tabulated values of subshell photoionization cross-section, fluorescence yield, fractional X-ray emission rates, Coster-Kronig transition probabilities. It was observed that present values agree with previous theoretical and other available experimental results.
