Atomic X-Ray Spectroscopic
Brief Summary
X-ray spectroscopy is a form of optical spectroscopy that utilizes emission, absorption, scattering, fluorescence, and diffraction of X-ray radiation
About X-Rays
• X-rays are short-wavelength (hence, high frequency, and hence, relatively high energy) electromagnetic radiation. Two ways to produce X-rays:
1) Deceleration of high-energy electrons
2) Electronic transitions involving inner-orbital (e.g. - d or f) electrons
For analytical purposes, X-rays are generated in three ways:
1) bombardment of metal target with high-energy electron beam
2) exposure of target material to primary X-ray beam to create a secondary beam of X-ray fluorescence
3) use of radioactive materials whose decay patterns include X-ray
emission

Electron beam sources
In electron beam sources, X-rays are produced by heating a cathode to produce high-energy electrons; these electrons are energetic enough to ionize off the cathode and race towards a metal anode (the target) where, upon collision, X-rays are given off from the target material in response to the colliding electrons.
The Duane-Hunt law
The maximum photon energy corresponds to total stopping of the electron and is given by:
hvo = (hc)/o = Ve
vo is the maximum frequency
V = accelerating voltage
e = electron charge
X-ray Fluorescence
Since X-rays are rather energetic, excitation of sample electrons will give rise to fluorescence as the sample electrons are excited and return to their ground states in a series of electronic transitions.
