Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the study of real solids, particularly plutonium (Pu) and neptunium (Np), with a focus on understanding X-ray photoemission spectra, including concepts like the sudden approximation and the distinction between main and satellite peaks. A participant inquires about reliable references for these topics. The conversation briefly touches on the context of working with radioactive elements, hinting at a connection to the defense industry. There is a suggestion that instead of seeking information online, one could consult colleagues for expertise. Additionally, a mention of the NIST database highlights the availability of transition energy data, although it notes that information becomes less comprehensive as atomic number increases.

I am now engaged in a study of real solids like Pu and Np.

I need some knowledge of the X-ray photoemission spectra. Specifically, I need to understand the sudden approximation, the main and satellite peaks, etc.

Is there any good reference on these topics?

By the way, I do theory.

His enemies will find out soon enough!
 
NIST has a database of the transition energies. Unfortunately, as Z goes up, the data tends to get a little sparse.

If you work in that industry, why are you asking these questions on the Internet instead of going down the hall to your co-workers' offices to ask this?

Thread 'A rigorous approach to learn Mathematics'

Hello Intellectuals! So far it seems to be reasonable to learn mathematics in a rigorous way by not solely considering the techniques of problem solving or the applications of a particular subject or concept. Also to truly appreciate the beauty of mathematical endeavor one need to learn the reasoning behind the origination of concepts in mathematics, so as a beginner it appears to be worthwhile to learn the highly abstract aspects of mathematics like proofs, logic, and topics in pure...
