Secondary Absorption Edges in X-rays

Abstract

RECENTLY Nuttall (Phys. Rev., 31; 1928) has examined the X-ray absorption spectra of simple compounds like potassium chloride and found six absorption edges (designated as A, B, C, D, E and F) both for potassium and chlorine atoms, all of which lie on the short wave-length side of the primary K-limit. The wave-lengths of the first four of these agree well with those found by Lindh in chlorine compounds of different valencies.
