Abstract

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) data from an energydispersive XRF instrument were used to investigate the chlorine KR and Kβ peaks in several group 1 salts. The ratio of the peak intensity is sensitive to the local chemical environment of the chlorine atoms studied in this experiment and it shows a periodic trend for these salts.
