Abstract

An investigation has been made of the relative K β intensities in different chemical states of the sulfur atom using the K α lines, with appropriate corrections, to provide the intensity standards. Both inorganic and organic compounds were included in the study. The data for each compound appear to be reliable to about ± 0.5%, while the whole series of compounds shows a variation greater than 20% in the corrected K β/K α ratios. Energies were also measured, particularly the K α energies, and their shifts were studied relative to the K β, intensity shifts. The work was done with a plane, single-crystal, helium-path spectrometer with proportional counter and pulse-height analysis for detection. The results are indicative of the usefulness of the method both in clarifying an uncertain chemical state and in studying the electronic structure of the bonded atom.
