Abstract:
Mercuric iodide detectors, operating at room temperature with the FET of the first stage of amplification cooled with a two-stage Peltier element, have been used to detect low-energy x rays from light elements excited by 2.0- and 6.1-MeV α particles. X-ray lines from Na (1.04 keV) and Mg (1.25 keV) have been seen for the first time with room-temperature energy-dispersive detectors. A resolution of 390 eV at 1.25 keV was obtained. Further improvement of the resolution is believed to be achievable. However, even the present characteristics are adequate for many applications in x-ray fluorescence and elemental analysis. Several such possible applications are suggested.
