Resonant Raman Scattering of X Rays: Evidence for K--M Scattering

摘要

Resonant Raman x-ray scattering on molybdenum was studied using a Mo-anode x-ray tube and a LiF crystal monochromator. Beside the usual resonant Raman peak corresponding to the fluorescent K alpha lines another peak with a smaller energy loss was found. It is attributed to resonant Raman scattering with a final state M-shell vacancy corresponding to the fluorescent K beta lines. Both contributions are shown to be independent of the scattering angle. Absolute cross sections were determined and compared with theoretical predictions. 9 references. (ERA citation 04:031610)
