Polarization analysis of K-edge resonant x-ray scattering of germanium

The polarization of K-edge resonant scattering at the space group ``forbidden'' (0 0 6) reflection of Ge was measured as function of the azimuthal angle, psi. The experimental results are compared to model calculations based on symmetry analysis of the resonant scattering tensors.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.

The method is based on comparing a non-charging surface of a conducting material such as copper or indium tin oxide with charging surfaces of non-conducting phosphors. The phosphors that were investigated were ZnO:Zn, which is slightly conductive and supposed not to charge upon electron bombardment, and Y2O3:Eu, which charges at sufficiently high current density. It was found that the luminous efficacies of ZnO:Zn and Y2O3:Eu at 5 keV primary beam energy were 23 and 16 lm/w respectively, larger than reported in the literature. This is partly explained by calculating the efficacy from the summation of the luminances measured in the reflected and transmitted mode. This method also minimizes the inaccuracy introduced by the effect of the coating weight. The ratio between luminances measured in reflection and transmission is described in terms of a one-dimensional light scattering theory
