摘要
The effect of external magnetic field on the L-3 subshells fluorescence yields (omega(3)) and level widths (Gamma(L3)) for ferromagnetic Gd and Dy and diamagnetic Hg and Pb have been investigated using the 59.5 keV incident photon energy in the external magnetic field of intensities +/- 0.75 T. L-3 X-ray production cross sections (sigma(X)(L3)) have been measured for the same elements. The measured omega(3), Gamma(L3) and sigma(X)(L3) values for B = 0 are in good agreement with the theoretical values. It was observed that the values of omega 3 and sigma(X)(L3) with the applied magnitude of the magnetic field in both directions increase for ferromagnetic Gd and Dy but decrease for diamagnetic Hg and Pb. Furthermore, in the presence of an external magnetic field, the values for Gamma(L3) decrease for Gd and Dy, and increase for Hg and Pb. The results show that the atomic parameters such as spectral linewidth, radiation rates, photoionization cross section and fluorescence yield can change when the irradiation is conducted in a magnetic field.
