摘要
The standard method of soft X-ray beamline calibration at the N K-edge uses the nu = 0 peak transition of gas-phase N-2. Interstitial N-2 gas trapped or formed within widely available solid-state ammonium- and amine-containing salts can be used for this purpose, bypassing gas-phase measurements. Evidence from non-nitrogen-containing compounds (KH2PO4) and from He-purged ammonium salts suggest that production of N-2 gas is through beam-induced decomposition. Compounds with nitrate or nitrite as anions produce coincident features and are not suitable for this calibration method.
