Energy levels electrons

The rotation-vibration-electronic energy levels of the PH3 molecule (neglecting nuclear spin) can be labelled with the irreducible representation labels of the group The character table of this group is given in table Al.4.10. 

At a surface, not only can the atomic structure differ from the bulk, but electronic energy levels are present that do not exist in the bulk band structure. These are referred to as surface states . If the states are occupied, they can easily be measured with photoelectron spectroscopy (described in section A 1.7.5.1 and section Bl.25.2). If the states are unoccupied, a teclmique such as inverse photoemission or x-ray absorption is required [22, 23]. Also, note that STM has been used to measure surface states by monitoring the tunnelling current as a fiinction of the bias voltage [24] (see section BT20). This is sometimes called scamiing tuimelling spectroscopy (STS).

We can use the energy level diagram in Figure 10.14 to explain an absorbance spectrum. The thick lines labeled Eq and Ei represent the analyte s ground (lowest) electronic state and its first electronic excited state. Superimposed on each electronic energy level is a series of lines representing vibrational energy levels.

Xps is based on the photoelectric effect when an incident x-ray causes ejection of an electron from a surface atom. Figure 7 shows a schematic of the process for a hypothetical surface atom. In this process, an incident x-ray photon of energy hv impinges on the surface atom causing ejection of an electron, usually from a core electron energy level. This primary photoelectron is detected in xps. 

A typical x-ray photoelectron spectmm consists of a plot of the iatensity of photoelectrons as a function of electron E or Ej A sample is shown ia Figure 8 for Ag (21). In this spectmm, discrete photoelectron responses from the cote and valence electron energy levels of the Ag atoms ate observed. These electrons ate superimposed on a significant background from the Bremsstrahlung radiation inherent ia n onm on ochrom a tic x-ray sources (see below) which produces an increa sing number of photoelectrons as decreases. Also observed ia the spectmm ate lines due to x-ray excited Auger electrons. 

The lines of primary interest ia an xps spectmm ate those reflecting photoelectrons from cote electron energy levels of the surface atoms. These ate labeled ia Figure 8 for the Ag 3, 3p, and 3t7 electrons. The sensitivity of xps toward certain elements, and hence the surface sensitivity attainable for these elements, is dependent upon intrinsic properties of the photoelectron lines observed. The parameter governing the relative iatensities of these cote level peaks is the photoionization cross-section, (. This parameter describes the relative efficiency of the photoionization process for each cote electron as a function of element atomic number. Obviously, the photoionization efficiency is not the same for electrons from the same cote level of all elements. This difference results ia variable surface sensitivity for elements even though the same cote level electrons may be monitored. 

Whereas the gas lasers described use energy levels characteristic of individual atoms or ions, laser operation can also employ molecular energy levels. Molecular levels may correspond to vibrations and rotations, in contrast to the electronic energy levels of atomic and ionic species. The energies associated with vibrations and rotations tend to be lower than those of electronic transitions thus the output wavelengths of the molecular lasers tend to He farther into the infrared.

When two conducting phases come into contact with each other, a redistribution of charge occurs as a result of any electron energy level difference between the phases. If the two phases are metals, electrons flow from one metal to the other until the electron levels equiUbrate. When an electrode, ie, electronic conductor, is immersed in an electrolyte, ie, ionic conductor, an electrical double layer forms at the electrode—solution interface resulting from the unequal tendency for distribution of electrical charges in the two phases. Because overall electrical neutrality must be maintained, this separation of charge between the electrode and solution gives rise to a potential difference between the two phases, equal to that needed to ensure equiUbrium.
