Özet

The effective atomic numbers of compounds of the first row transition elements were determined experimentally by a scattering method using wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. A calibration curve was created by using the intensity ratios of coherent to Compton scattered peaks of pure elements from atomic number 13-48. This relationship was employed to determine the effective atomic numbers of the compounds. The effective atomic numbers were also calculated by using empirical formulas from the literature. Mass attenuation coefficients were calculated using software. The experimentally measured values of the effective atomic numbers with the calculated values by empirical formulas were comparable.
