Photoelectric Atomic Absorption Cross Sections for Elements Z = 6 to 54 in the Medium Energy X-Ray Range (5 to 25 keV) — Part I

Abstract

Abstract Photoelectric atomic absorption cross sections have been calculated by means of hydrogen-like eigenfunctions for the atomic K, L, M and N sub-shells of the elements Z = 6 to 54, using revised screening constants and an extension of the theory. The absorption cross sections have been further separated into dipole and quadrupole components so that the numerical data can also be applied to the Borrmann effect.
