Summary

We report on results obtained from experiments using specially prepared carbon substrates and treatment of the data by means of recently introduced theory. Medium Z grids with known parameters have been coated on top of pyrolytic carbon substrates to achieve well defined absorption geometries. The various copper grids exhibit satisfactory performance in terms of mechanical stability, homogeneity and uniformity of the coating. A detailed study of the measurement results shows that there is a more rapid increase of the associated C-Kα countrate from the coated samples compared to the pure elements and is attributed to the contribution of secondary enhancement effects, including those resulting from photoelectrons generated after the primary ionization.
