Table 2

Absorption cross section, density, and filter thickness of the Mg, Al, and Be filter at Kα line energies of Mg, Al, and Si.

Absorption cross section μ (cm2 g−1) ρ (g cm−3) d (μm)

Element 1.254 keV (Mg) 1.487 keV (Al) 1.740 keV (Si)
Be 307.76 184.47 114.47 1.84 25.4
Mg 502.39 4084.09 2782.42 1.74 5.1
Al 648.13 411.68 3111.63 2.70 6.4

Notes. The filter thickness is adopted from Yin et al. (1993). Absorption cross sections were determined using the web tool xraylib (Schoonjans et al. 2011).
