论文摘要
与A. H. Compton和他的合作者在1923 - 1927年进行的X射线光学相关的实验导致了诺贝尔奖获得康普顿效应的发现。基于这些实验研究结果的关键分析,我们可以推断窥镜金属的独特X射线反射特性为我们提供了其在硬X射线区域中反射率的证据。在此方面,我们详细研究了窥镜金属的理论X射线反射率与各种不同光子能量的各种镜子材料相比,以各种放牧的入射角。这些材料的放牧发病率反射率的理论计算也通过其他实验数据和计算机模拟很好地验证。我们还计算了窥镜金属的最小和临界角渗透深度以及其他镜子材料,用于不同的光子能量。此外,讨论了电磁谱不同区域中窥镜金属与其物理特性相关的反射率。从这些研究中获得的分析结果表明,X射线区域中窥镜金属的反射率,尤其是在小放牧角的硬X射线区域中,比常用的高密度镜材料高。
Experiments related to X-ray optics carried out by A. H. Compton and his collaborators during 1923-1927, led to the Nobel Prize winning discovery of Compton Effect. Based on the critical analyses of these experimental investigation results, we could infer a unique X-ray reflection property of speculum metal that provided us the evidence for its reflectivity in the hard X-ray region. In connection with this, we have studied in detail the theoretical X-ray reflectivity of speculum metal in comparison with variety of other mirror materials for different photon energies at various grazing angles of incidence. Theoretical calculations of grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity for these materials also verified well with other experimental data and computer simulations. We have also calculated the minimum and critical angle penetration depth of speculum metal with other mirror materials for different photon energies. Furthermore, the reflectivity of speculum metal in different regions of electromagnetic spectrum in association with its physical properties is discussed. The analytical results obtained from these studies indicated that the reflectivity of speculum metal in the X-ray region, especially in hard X-ray region at small grazing angles is higher than that for commonly used high density mirror materials.
