(a) Schematic of the experimental setup. Varying the distance between the movable Be lens stack and the sample allowed adjusting the incident photon flux. (b) Fe Kβ X-ray emission spectra measured for a Fe(CN)6/H2O solution for different incident photon fluxes. The spectra were normalized to unit area for integrated area difference (IAD) analysis.23 This normalization assumes a constant 1s shell ionization cross section and 3p → 1s transition fluorescence yield for different charge states. The monotonic change with rising photon flux is indicated by the arrows in the inset. The intensity measurement uncertainty does not exceed 2% in the energy range 7054–7062 eV. (c) Fe Kβ difference spectra resulting from subtraction of the consecutive spectra from the one measured for the lowest photon flux.
