This paper shows the production of hollow atoms and the proposal of the measurement by using x-ray flux irradiating clusters by continuing work from our previous papers left braceK. Moribayashi, J.Phys.B, 41 085602 (2008)right brace. The x-ray emissions from hollow atoms produced by high intensity x-ray sources are employed for this measurement. This measurement is useful for the application of laser-driven x-ray sources and x-ray free electron lasers to the measurement of diffraction patterns of bio-molecules, which is indispensable for the study of their three-dimensional structure. This paper develops the methods and discussions of our previous paper. Namely, the electron impact ionization processes are added to our calculation model. Further, the size effects of the targets are shown.
