TLDR
In this article, the authors presented semi-empirical values of the natural widths of K, L1, L2, and L3 levels, Kα1 and Kα2 x-ray lines, and KL1L1, KL 1L2 and KL2L3 Auger lines for the elements 10?Z?110.
Abstract
Semi‐empirical values of the natural widths of K, L1, L2, and L3 levels, Kα1 and Kα2 x‐ray lines, and KL1L1, KL1L2 and KL2L3 Auger lines for the elements 10?Z?110 are presented in tables and grapahs. Level width Γi (i=K, L1,L2, L3) is obtained from the relation Γi=ΓR,i/ωi, using the theoretical radiative rate ΓR,i from Scofield’s relativistic, relaxed Hartree‐Fock calculation and the fluorescence yield ωi from Krause’s evaluation. X‐ray and Auger lines widths are calculated as the sums of pertinent level widths. This tabulation of natural level and line widths is internally consistent, and is compatible with all relevant experimental and theoretical information. Present semi‐empirical widths, especially those of Kα1 and Kα2 x‐rays, are compared with measured widths. Uncertainties of semi‐empirical values are estimated.

Potential for biomolecular imaging with femtosecond X-ray pulses

TL;DR: Computer simulations are used to investigate the structural information that can be recovered from the scattering of intense femtosecond X-ray pulses by single protein molecules and small assemblies and predict that ultrashort, high-intensity X-rays from free-electron lasers that are currently under development will provide a new approach to structural determinations with X- rays.

Oxidation state and coordination of Fe in minerals: An Fe K-XANES spectroscopic study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured high-resolution Fe K-edge XANES spectra of a series of crystalline Fe 2+ - and Fe 3+ -bearing model compounds in an effort to correlate characteristics of the pre-edge feature with oxidation state and local coordination environment of Fe atoms.

Study of the L 23 edges in the 3 d transition metals and their oxides by electron-energy-loss spectroscopy with comparisons to theory

TL;DR: In this article, a variation from the statistical white-line intensity ratio of 2:1 has been observed across the $3d$ transition row, with values ranging between 0.8:1 for Ti to 5: 1 for FeO. It is suggested that the anomalous ratios may be explained by a breakdown of the exchange mechanism caused by an exchange mechanism.

Assignment of pre‐edge peaks in K‐edge x‐ray absorption spectra of 3d transition metal compounds: electric dipole or quadrupole?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the characteristics of pre-edge peaks in K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra of 3d transition metals from viewpoints of the selection rule, coordination number, number of d-electrons, and symmetry of the coordination sphere.
