Effect of the crystal structure on the X-ray intensity ratios of 3d metals

摘要

The linear muffin-tin-orbital method is used to calculate the d electron populations of 3d metals in different crystal structures. It is found that valence electronic structure and hence the Kβ/Kα X-ray intensity ratio (R) of a 3d metal changes with the crystal structure. It is concluded that R of a 3d metal depends on the energy band structure rather than the chemical environment.
