Resonant behavior in soft x-ray fluorescence excited by monochromatized synchrotron radiation
Author
Summary, in English
Soft x-ray emission spectra of TiN, excited by monochromatized synchrotron radiation, have been recorded in a grazing-incidence spectrometer. The tunability of the excitation energy has allowed the pure N K and Ti LIII emission spectra to be isolated for the first time. A new type of resonance is observed in the Ti L emission spectrum, and interpreted as due to the decay of a quasiatomic intermediate state. The results call for a reinterpretation of Ti L spectra and a revision of the interpretation of 3d-metal L-emission spectra in general.
