For his discovery of the characteristic X-rays of elements, Barkla was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1917. He was also awarded the Hughes Medal of the British Royal Society that same year. Barkla proposed the J-phenomenon as a hypothetical form of X-ray behaviour similar to X-ray fluorescence.
