Measurement of X-ray transmission factors of some boron compounds

Abstract

Measurements have been made to determine X-ray transmission factors of some boron compounds (H3BO3,Na2B4O7 and B3Al2O3) by using an extremely narrow-collimated-beam transmission method in the energy range 15.746-40.930 keV. The characteristic Kalpha and Kbeta X-rays of the different elements (Zr, Me, Ag, In, Sb, Ba and Pr) passed through boron compounds were detected with a high-resolution Si(Li) detector. Results are presented and discussed in this paper. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
