Abstract:
The anisotropy of emission intensity of L-shell X-rays induced by 59.5 keV photons in Au and Hg was investigated at different angles varying from 45° to 135°. It is observed that Ll and Lα X-rays (originating from J=3/2) are anisotropic, Lβ and Lγ X-rays (originating from J=1/2, commonly) are isotropic. © 1995 Società Italiana di Fisica.
