Soft X-Ray Absorption of Evaporated Thin Films of Tellurium

Abstract

The linear absorption coefficient of tellurium has been measured in the wavelength region 100A to 400A. A double peak was observed at about 300A; it is due to transitions from the ${N}_{\mathrm{IV}}$ and ${N}_{\mathrm{V}}$ levels to the conduction band. A large peak at shorter wavelengths was also observed.
