Theory of Soft X-Ray Emission spectra of Light Metals

Abstract
A general formulation for the spectral intensity of the soft X-ray emission of light metals is developed by using Green's function method. In this formulation the spectral intensity of soft X-ray emission is related to the radiative level-broadening of the inner-shell level which is given by the imaginary part of the self-energy of the inner-shell hole due to electron-photon interaction. Its applications are made to explain the low energy tail and the hump at the high energy edge of the L 2,3 -emission of sodium.
