The influence of relaxation and nondipole effects on the intensity of X-ray photoelectron spectra

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The photoionization cross sections; dipole and nondipole parameters of the angular distribution of photoelectrons; and the spectroscopic factors for the main X-ray photoelectron lines, which are used in quantitative analysis of the surface and most of atoms, have been calculated. It is shown that consideration of nondipole effects leads to a significant (up to 10%) change in the photoelectron angular distribution. Therefore, neglect of nondipole transitions may lead to an error above 10% when MgK α and AlK α X-ray lines are used for surface analysis. Consideration of the spectroscopic factors leads to a decrease in the absolute line intensity by about 20%. Calculations showed that this value weakly depends on the atomic number and quantum shell numbers.
