Spin-polarized x-ray emission of3dtransition-metal ions: A comparison viaKαandKβdetection

This paper demonstrates that spin-polarized x-ray-excitation spectra can be obtained using $K\alpha$ emission as well as $K\beta$ lines. A spin-polarized analysis of $K\alpha$ x-ray emission and the excitation spectra by $K\alpha$ detection on a Ni compound is reported. A systematic analysis of the first-row transition-metal ions using the ligand-field multiplet calculation is presented for $K\alpha$ and $K\beta$ emission spectra.
