Description

The photon induced K shell x-ray intensity ratios and the satellite spectra of chlorine are investigated. Unlike conventional use of crystal spectrometers, the satellite x-ray structure is observed using energy dispersive spectrometer with high resolution silicon drift detector and x-ray tube as photon source. The energy shift of chlorine KL1 line from the KL0 position is also measured and found to be ~21 eV, which in close agreement with the theoretical value as reported with ion induced x-ray satellite measurement experiments. The Kα/Kβ X-ray intensity ratios of Chlorine are also investigated for three compounds of chlorine namely NaCl, NiCl2 and FeCl3. The variation in x-ray spectra peak structure is observed for these compounds.
