KαSatellite Lines for Elements Zn(30) to Pd(46)

Abstract

With a two-crystal spectrometer, ionization curves of the $K{\alpha }_{3,4}$ group of x-ray satellite lines have been recorded for elements Zn(30) to Pd(46). In this satellite group are found four component lines for elements $30\le Z\le 33$, three components for $34\le Z\le 40$ and two components, ${{\alpha }_3}^{\prime }$ and ${\alpha }_4$ for $41\le Z\le 46$. The wave-length position, relative intensity, and line width at half-maximum intensity of each component has been measured. A sharp and anomalous decrease (with increasing $Z$) in the total satellite intensity relative to the ${\alpha }_1$ intensity is found in the region of $Y\left(39\right)\mathrm{}$. Curious and anomalous intensity relations are also found among the individual satellite components.
