Chemical state analysis of phosphorus by synchrotron X-ray fluorescence and PIXE

A Slovenian group has recently reported the Kα and Kβ emission spectra of phosphorus, measured by monochromatic synchrotron X-rays (3 keV, at ID26, ESRF) and a 2 MeV proton beam. They also compared them with a Density Functional Theory calculation using StoBe-deMon code (Stockholm-Berlin version of demon).
