Chemical effects on enhancement of Coster-Kronig transition of L-3 X-rays of Hg, Pb and Bi compounds were incasured for these elements and their compounds. The samples were excited by gamma rays with energy 59.5 keV from an Am-241 radioisotope source. L X-rays emitted by samples were counted by a Si(Li) detector with resolution 155 eV at 5.9 keV. The data were carefully analysed and chemical effects on enhancement of Coster-Kronig transition of L3 X-rays were determined. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
