Experimental determination of ruthenium L-shell fluorescence yields and Coster-Kronig transition probabilities

Atomic Physics 2023-03-15 v1

Abstract

The L-shell fluorescence yields and the Coster-Kronig factors of ruthenium (and the corresponding uncertainty) were determined for the first time experimentally by applying radiometrically calibrated instrumentation of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt. The resulting fluorescence yields (ωL3=0.0459(20)\omega_{L_3}=0.0459(20), ωL2=0.0415(26)\omega_{L_2}=0.0415(26), ωL1=0.0109(9)\omega_{L_1}=0.0109(9)) and the Coster-Kronig factors (f23=0.177(32)f_{23}=0.177(32), f13=0.528(90)f_{13}=0.528(90), f12=0.173(73)f_{12}=0.173(73)) agree reasonable well with parts of the data from the literature.
