Abstract

Exact expressions are given for the K and L x-ray fluorescence cross sections. Hole transfer between the L subshells is taken into account and shown to lead to a substantial enhancement of the cross sections for x rays of the L2 and L3 emission series. Absolute values of Kα and Lα cross sections are calculated for all elements and four excitation energies, namely GeK ≙ 10.0 keV, MoKα ≙ 17.44 keV, AgK ≙ 22.5 keV and Am 241 ≙ 59.6 keV.
