The Kβ/Kα line intensity ratio was measured using an energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometer for samples of Ti, TiO, Ti2O3, Ti3O5, and TiO2. A steady increase of the Kβ/Kα intensity ratio was observed with increasing oxidation. For metallic titanium a value Kβ/Kα = 0.131 was obtained whereas for TiO2 this ratio is 0.1365. A similar but weaker dependence was observed for Fe and some iron oxides, too. The origin of this dependence is discussed as well as consequences for quantitative X‐ray microanalysis. Furthermore, the width of Kβ‐lines was found to be about 5 eV higher than that of Kα‐lines of equal energy.
