The L-Emission Spectrum of Argon

Abstract

OF the X-spectra of rare gases, the K-series of xenon and that of krypton have been measured1, and from their absorption spectra the K-edge of argon2, krypton3 and the L-edge of xenon3 are known. For the L-absorption edge of Xe, as well as for the K-edge of argon4, a fine structure also has been found.
