HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access
archive for the deposit and dissemination of sci-
entific research documents, whether they are pub-
lished or not. The documents may come from
teaching and research institutions in France or
abroad, or from public or private research centers.

L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est
destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents

# Major (S)XES Review

A bibliographic database of x-ray emissions
as a function of the chemical state of the emitting element

P. Jonnard

Laboratoire de Chimie Physique – Matière et Rayonnement
Sorbonne Université – CNRS
Paris, France
Introduction

All kind of X-ray emissions are (more or less) sensitive
to the chemical state of the emitting element

• Emission bands

• Atomic lines

• High-energy satellite lines

• Low-energy satellite lines
# Atomic lines

## Quantification?

# Why a bibliographic database?

First spectra obtained in 1912 by Bragg (father and son)

All elements have been studied so far

as well as of a lot of compounds, materials, ...

* Give due credit to previous research works

* Do not repeat experiments / point to missing data

* Prepare experiments (incident particle, spectrometer, choice of emission kind, ...)

* Check experiments (students, new users, new spectrometers, ...)

* Give evidence of changes (reabsorption, excitation energy, orientation, ...)

* Check if height of maximum is equivalent to peak area (quantification)

* Obtain an idea of the chemical state of the emitting element

* Complete other studies (XAS, XPS, XRD, EELS, ...)

* To have reference spectra to compare to simulated spectra

* Establish training sets for AI

* ...
Description of the database

* All kind of emissions (main, intense and minor, satellites)

* All elements from Z=3 to Z=98 (with a few exceptions)

* Mainly solids (bulk, thin film, dopant, adsorbate, ...)

* WDS spectrometers (high spectral resolution) no EDS except some bolometers

* All kind of excitations (electrons, x-rays, ions) not plasmas

* All kind of sources (journals, conferences, repositories, ...)

* All languages

* >6000 articles

>1400 pages

>43000 lines

how many compounds?

Conclusion

* Is this bibliographic database really useful?

* I continue!

* Please help!

* Send papers (old, russian, japanese, chinese, conferences, PhD, reports, ...)

* Report missing references

* Report errors

* Make a real database (SQL)
