Abstract:
In this work we report on the results of the total K-shell X-ray production cross sections of Ti, Cr, Ni and Zn induced by Cl4+ and Cl5+ ions with energies ranging from 4 MeV to 10 MeV. The experimental results were compared with Atomic Orbitals Coupled-Channels (CC) calculations based on the independent electron model. The experimental X-ray production cross sections vary from about 10-2 barns for Zn up to 102 barns for Ti. The results obtained for Ti indicate that the present CC calculations underestimate the experimental cross sections up to two orders of magnitude at 10 MeV chlorine bombarding energy. However, the discrepancy between CC calculations and experimental results decreases as both bombarding energy and the atomic number of the target species increase. The dependency of the experiment-theory agreement on the asymmetry and adiabaticity parameters α and η respectively is discussed.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
