Measurement of some K and L X-rays parameters of halogen iodine compounds

•Chemical effect on K and L-X-ray of Iodine compounds.•Fluorescence cross-sections, X-ray intensity ratios, L shell fluorescence yields.•At 59.543 keV exciting energy.•Results were compared with theoretical values.•Changes according to the pure element.

The Ki (i=α1, α2, β1, β2) and Li (i=α, β, β1, β2, γ) X-rays fluorescence cross-sections, X-rays intensity ratios and the average L shell fluorescence yields of Iodine in different compounds were measured by a high-resolution Si(Li) X-ray detector (FWHM=155 eV at 5.9 keV) at 59.543 keV. X-rays emitted from the samples were analyzed by using Microcal Origin 7.5 Demo Version software program. The experimental results were compared with the calculated theoretical values for the elemental Iodine.
