AI Thread 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 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
