Fermi-Dirac distribution f(E) T = 0K Ef E T > 0K Ef E If the temperature is raised, then electrons may acquire additional energy. 025 eV. Thus, at ordinary temperatures, electrons well below Ef cannot move to a higher energy level because these are occupied already with other electrons. Only electrons with energies close to Ef can increase their energy and jump to unoccupied levels >Ef. Thus, some energy levels < Ef become unoccupied and others above Ef become occupied. The distribution of energies for T> 0K is described by the Fermi-Dirac distribution: 1 f (E ) = (E − E ) kT F e +1 The Fermi-Dirac distribution takes into account the quantised nature of energies of electrons.
The incoming radiation is represented by transverse electric field vectors of amplitude EoY and Eoz. Eoz makes the z Eoz electron vibrate with an acceleration aoz in Eoy Esz the z direction. E oy makes the electron vibrate with an acceleration aoy in the y direction. Scattered field has amplitude Esz and Esy. Esy y aoy 2θ electron incident x-ray amplitude Eo in all directions (unpolarized) scattered x-ray Es a aoz R In general, we can express the amplitude of the scattered ray ES in terms of the distance R from the electron location.
The most efficient operating voltage V Kβ of an x-ray tube occurs when the ratio of the intensity of the characteristic radiation to that of the continuous radiation is a maximum. 5VK at maximum. When an electron is ejected, the resulting vacancy can be filled by a transition of an electron from an L or M shell resulting in Kα or Kβ radiation, or from higher shells resulting in longer wavelength x-rays. A transition from L to K may also occur Auger without the emission of an x-ray photon. emission M In this case, another electron, called an Auger electron, is emitted from a higher L level state to maintain the energy balance.
