The absolute K-shell ionization cross sections of K and Lα X-ray production cross sections of I by 10–30 keV electron impact have been measured. The target was prepared by evaporating a thin film of compound KI to a thick pure carbon substrate. The effects of multiple scattering of electrons penetrating the target films, electrons reflected from the thick pure carbon substrates and bremsstrahlung photons produced when incident electrons impacted on the targets were corrected by using the Monte Carlo method. For K K-shell and I L-shell X-ray characteristic peaks, the spectra were fitted using the spectrum-fitting program ALLFIT to extract the Kα and Kβ peak counts more accurately for element K, and Lα peak counts for element I. The experimental results were compared with some theoretical results developed recently and available experimental data from the literature. The experimental data for I L-shell X-ray production cross sections by 10–30 keV electron impact are given here for the first time.

Thick targets consisting in Al/Si alloys were bombarded with 1.0 to 5.0 MeV Ar ions. The K X-ray production cross sections were deduced from the measured yields by using the Merzbacher-Lewis formula extended to heavy ion bombardment. The density dependence on the K X-ray production cross sections of Al and Si was observed. This phenomena can be interpreted within the molecular orbital double-scattering mechanism.

When a solid or gaseous target is bombarded with heavy charged particles, inner shell electrons of target atoms are ionized and characteristic x rays are produced. We can easily observe these x rays with a Si(Li) detector and derive inner-shell ionization cross section from the x-ray production cross sections. In this paper, we make a review of x-ray production, inner shell ionization and Reading’s theorem in light ion·atom collisions. This theorem is one of the most important ones in the ion·atom collision physics and permits precise discussion on comparison between experimental inner-shell ionization cross sections obtained with a Si(Li) detector and the calculations based on usual theories where the incident particle is assumed to interact with only one electron in an atom and the presence of other electrons is ignored.

L-shell X-ray production cross sections for selected heavy elements (Tl, Pb, Bi), of interest in BIO-PIXE analyses, have been measured by proton and 7 Li ion impact in the energy range 0.8–2.6 MeV and 1.8–3.3 MeV respectively. Further, production cross sections for 7 Li ion impact on Au between 1.0 and 2.4 MeV have been measured. L-subshell ionization cross sections have been extracted and arranged, together with similar results from other laboratories, in an analysis aiming at testing the performance of various theoretical approximations in the description of the ionization process. The disagreement observed at low values of the reduced velocity parameter ξ R L between the data and the predictions of the ECPSSR model is significantly reduced by using a United Atom approximation in the treatment of the binding correction, suggested by our group (ECPSSR-UA). The remaining discrepancies, mostly for the L 1-subshell, are almost completely removed by replacing the screened hydrogenlike wave functions with the more realistic Dirac-Hartree-Slater ones. In the case of 7 Li ions, especially for L 2-subshell, also a more refined Coulomb deflection correction and more sophisticated coupled channel calculations are needed.

Shell Ionization

Knowledge of inner-shell ionization cross sections by electron impact is needed for quantitative procedures in electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) The common practice is to use semi-empirical formulas, based on the asymptotic limit of the Bethe theory, which sometimes are used beyond their domain of validity. Experimental measurements of ionization cross sections are scarce and affected by considerable uncertainties, thus a mere comparison with experimental data does not permit to draw a definite conclusion abou the accuracy of the various formulas. In this communication, we present new measurements o the relative variation of K- and L-shell ionization cross sections deduced from the counting rate of characteristic x-rays emitted by extremely thin films of Cr, Ni, Cu, Te, Au and Bi bombardec by keV electrons.The studied films were produced by thermal evaporation on backing self-supported 30 nm carbon films.
