Soft X-Ray Absorption by Thin Films of Vanadium

Abstract
The absorption of soft x-rays by vanadium has been measured in the spectral region between 190 A and 250 A. The observed absorption band is interpreted as a combination of M3 and M2 bands in the ratio of 2:1 and separated by 1.5 ev. The results are compared with previous determinations on chromium and iron.
