Characterization of Zeolite Catalysts
Published in Subhash Bhatia, Zeolite Catalysis: Principles and Applications, 2020
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is named after the de-excitation mechanism known as the Auger effect. When a vacancy is created in a core level (e.g., K or Is) of an atom by X-ray or electron bombardment, one possible mechanism of de-excitation for the ion created is emission of an Auger electron from an upper orbital, say L. The energy required for this ejection comes from the quasisimultaneous decay of a third electron from another upper level, say L, into the K vacancy. In this particular example the Auger electron will be denoted KLL.

The congress was attended by some 1,000 people from all over the world, the United States, Germany, the USSR, the Arab countries, etc. It was opened by Pierre Auger, the well-known semiconductor physicist (the “Auger effect”). He started his opening playing a hymn to the Sun.

Lastly, the Auger effect (Figure 2) is a physical process in which the filling of an atom’s inner-shell vacancy is followed by the emission of an electron from the same atom [138]. The interaction of ionizing radiation with high-Z, metal-based nanoparticles and the absorption of photoelectrons by high-Z nanoparticles will contribute to the release of numerous Auger electrons, which are essential for the therapeutic window escalation dose. Auger electrons have a lower energy with a shorter range (µm) which results in energy deposition inside the tumor with a close proximity [139].
