収端が存在し、曲線が不連続になっている。FIG. 5 is a diagram comparing the attenuation coefficients of one typical element and compound. Since the value of the damping coefficient shown in the figure is expressed as a mass damping coefficient, when applying to equation (2), the value obtained by multiplying the coefficient by the density ρ may be used. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the slope and curvature of the attenuation coefficient curve differ depending on each element and compound. Also, depending on the type of element, 1
For example, in the case of tungsten (W), an absorption edge exists at about 60 Ke V, and the curve is discontinuous.
