Table 4.2.2.4[link] summarizes the theoretical and experimental results for prominent K-series lines and the K-absorption edge. For the emission lines, the upper number (in italics) is the theoretical estimate for this line and the lower number is the experimentally measured value (1) from Table 4.2.2.1[link] or (2) from the Bearden database or a reference that appeared after the Bearden database corrected to the optically based scale. For the K absorption edge, the upper number (also in italics) was obtained by combining emission lines and photoelectron spectroscopy (see Subsection 4.2.2.7[link]), and the lower number is the experimentally measured value (1) from Table 4.2.2.3[link] or (2) from the Bearden database or a reference that appeared after the Bearden database corrected to an optically based scale. For the experimental emission and absorption entries, bold type is used for wavelengths directly measured on an optically based scale. The numerical values for wavelengths in angstrom units (1 Å = 0.1 nm) are given to a number of significant figures commensurate with their estimated uncertainties, which appear in parentheses after each theoretical and experimental value.

Table 4.2.2.4| top | pdf |
Wavelengths of K-emission lines and K-absorption edges in Å; see text for explanation of typefaces

Numbers in parentheses are standard uncertainties in the least significant figures.

Figure 4.2.2.1[link] shows plots of the relative deviation between theoretical and experimental values for the K-series lines and the K-absorption edge as a function of Z. The error bars shown in the figure are the experimental uncertainties. In general, these plots show good agreement between theory and experiment except in the low-Z and high-Z regions. At the low-Z end of the table, the particular calculational approach used is not optimum, and the experimental data are surprisingly weak. At the high end, experimental data have rather large uncertainties, and thus do not provide an accurate test of the theory.

[Figure 4.2.2.1]

Figure 4.2.2.1| top | pdf |

Relative deviations between theoretical and experimental results for K-series spectra. The topmost data set concerns the K-edge location, while the other data sets, beginning at the bottom, refer to the Kα2, Kα1, Kβ3 and Kβ1, respectively. The ordinate scales have been displaced for clarity by the indicated multiples of 0.001.

Table 4.2.2.5[link] summarizes the theoretical and experimental results for prominent L-series lines and the L-absorption edges. The experimental database of high-accuracy emission data is much more limited than was the case for the K series, and there have been very few high-accuracy edge-location measurements. The format of this table is similar to that of Table 4.2.2.4[link]. For the emission lines, the upper number (in italics) is the theoretical estimate for this line, and the lower number is the experimentally measured value. Numbers in bold type were directly measured on the optical scale (see Table 4.2.2.2[link]), and numbers in normal type are from the Bearden database or a reference that appeared after the Bearden database corrected to an optically based scale. For the L-absorption edges, the upper number (also in italics) is obtained by combining emission lines and photoelectron spectroscopy (see Subsection 4.2.2.7[link]) and the lower number is the experimentally measured value. The numbers in bold type are recent measurements by Kraft, Stümpel, Becker & Kuetgens (1996[link]), and the numbers in normal type are from the Bearden database or a reference that appeared after the Bearden database corrected to an optically based scale. Fig. 4.2.2.2[link] shows relative deviations between the theoretical and experimental values for most of the tabulated data. The error bars shown in the figure are the experimental uncertainties.

Wavelengths of L-emission lines and L-absorption edges in Å; see text for explanation of typefaces

Numbers in parentheses are standard uncertainties in the least significant figures.

Comparison of L-series data with experiment for the indicated range of Z. Indicated data, beginning at the bottom, refer to the Lα2, Lα1, and Lβ1 emission lines and the LIII, LII, and LI absorption edges. For clarity, the plots have been displaced vertically by multiples of 0.002 for the emission lines and 0.004 for the absorption edges.
