Abstract

We have observed a chemical-environment effect on the total K x-ray yield of sulfur in

{SF}_{6}

,

{SO}_{2}

, and

H_{2}

S. The yield from

{SF}_{6}

is 16% higher than the yield from

H_{2}

S, whereas the yield from

{SO}_{2}

is, within error, the same as

H_{2}

S. Variation in the fluorescence yield for the different molecules is considered to be the most probable cause of the effect.
