K β filter
The characteristic x-rays used for x-ray diffractometry generally contain K α and K β x-rays. A substance that passes
K α x-rays while absorbing most K β x-rays to monochromatize the beam is called a K β filter.
The mass absorption coefficient (hereinafter referred to as “absorption coefficient”) of an element becomes smaller
as wavelengths become shorter, and vice versa. However, when x-rays with energy greater than the binding energy
between the nucleus and electrons of an element, strike the element, the absorption coefficient suddenly increases
due to the photoelectric effect. This discontinuous point in the absorption coefficient is called an absorption edge.
Change in mass absorption coefficient in accordance with wavelength (platinum)
For efficient absorption of K β x-rays only, select an element as a K β filter with its absorption edge wavelength
located between the K α x-ray and K β x-ray wavelengths. Those elements will have an atomic number one or two
less than that of the target element. The following table shows the target elements commonly used for x-ray
diffractometry and their corresponding filters.
