The total photon cross sections in five nickle-based alloys, viz., Superimphy, Inconel, Nimonic-90, Invar, and stainless steel, are measured at photon energies of 32.1, 52.0, 72.1, 84.3, 145.4, 279.2, 320.0, and 661.6 keV in a good geometric setup using two NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors for low- and medium-energy photons. Experimental total photon cross sections are compared with the theoretical values of Storm and Israel and good agreement is found. Using the subtraction method, we obtain photoelectric and scattering cross sections at appropriate photon energies and compare them with the available theoretical values. The total and partial effective atomic numbers are obtained and presented.

Total attenuation cross sections in four alloys, telphy, dilver P, anhyster DS, and anhyster M, at 32.1, 52, 72.1, 84.3, 145.4, 279.2, and 661.6-keV photon energies are measured in a good geometry setup using two NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors for low and medium energy photons. Experimental total attenuation cross sections are compared with the theoretical values of Storm and Israel and found to be within experimental error. Using the subtraction method, photoelectric and scattering cross sections are obtained at appropriate photon energies and compared with theoretical values. The effective atomic numbers for photoelectric and total gamma-ray interactions are derived and their variation with energy is discussed.

The gas-kinetic radius (r) and van der Waals coefficient (b) are two usable quantities for characterizing the motion of any molecules in the gas phase. In this article, comprehensive calculations of r and b of various environmentally sensitive molecules like SF6, NF3, GeF4, Si2H6 and Cl2O are reported. In the present study, an analytical approach for calculations of r and b was used from the electron impact cross-sections data of these molecules. In general, the reported values of r and b shows good agreement with the previous theories and experiments.

Absolute inelastic scattering cross sections or mean free paths are often used in EELS analysis for determining elemental concentrations and specimen thickness. In most instances, theoretical values must be used because there have been few attempts to determine experimental scattering cross sections from solids under the conditions of interest to electron microscopist. In addition to providing data for spectral quantitation, absolute cross section measurements yields useful information on many of the approximations which are frequently involved in EELS analysis procedures. In this paper, experimental cross sections are presented for some inner-shell edges of Al, Cu, Ag and Au.Uniform thin films of the previously mentioned materials were prepared by vacuum evaporation onto microscope cover slips. The cover slips were weighed before and after evaporation to determine the mass thickness of the films. The estimated error in this method of determining mass thickness was ±7 x 107g/cm2. The films were floated off in water and mounted on Cu grids.
