Abstract

This work presents new measurements of mass attenuation coefficients in the range 3.8⩽E⩽11keV, K  -absorption jump-ratios, KαKα and KβKβ fluorescence yields for Ti, V, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn. We use the experimental facility SOLEX, a tunable monochromatic X-ray source combined with an energy-dispersive high-purity germanium detector. The results are compared with theoretical values as well as with other experimental data and show a relatively good agreement. However, the derived K  -jump-ratios appear larger than those widely used in the XCOM database. The KαKα and KβKβ fluorescence yields and the corresponding relative emission rates Kβ/KαKβ/Kα are also derived, which was made possible by the use of energy-dispersive detectors with good spectral resolution.
