  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012761",
  "term": "X-ray jump ratio",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The ratio of the X-ray absorption coefficient immediately after an absorption edge to the absorption coefficient immediately before the edge. This ratio quantifies the magnitude of the absorption discontinuity at a specific elemental absorption edge. It is a characteristic value for each element and is used in quantitative X-ray absorption spectroscopy to determine elemental concentrations.",
