Abstract
The K, L, and higher atomic shell x‐ray fluorescence yield measured data, covering the period 1978 to 1993, following the major previous compilations by Bambynek et al. (1972) and Krause (1979), are reviewed. An annotated bibliography of x‐ray fluorescence yield measurements, analyses, fits and tables 1978–1993 is presented. Comparisons of the fluorescence yields ωk, ω̄L, and ω̄M, based on measurements, and on theoretical models, are presented. Values of ωK, ω̄L, and ω̄M, fitted to standard empirical parametric formulations, are presented. In addition, selected well‐characterized measured ωK, ω̄L, and ω̄M results restricted to the period 1978–1993 are listed. These selected measured values are fitted by least squares to polynomials in Z of the form ∑nanZn and compared with theoretical and with earlier fitted values. A section on application of fluorescence yield data to computations of x‐ray energy‐absorption coefficients is included.
