Experimentally determined anomalous scattering factors for Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Hg using the Kramers-Kronig relation

Experimental near-K-edge anomalous scattering factors f' and f'' for Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Mn as well as the L_III-edge factors for Hg were determined from measured X-ray absorption spectra using the Kramers-Kronig relation and the optical theorem in the alloys Fe_0.716Ni_0.242C_0.042, Al_0.963Cu_0.015Zn_0.022, Cd_0.725Mn_0.275Te and Hg_0.80Cd_0.20Te. While solid-state effects modulate the scattering factors above the edge, the values provided by a modified FPRIME calculation match the experimentally determined values below the edge for all of the elements studied.
