Energy electron-volt

Values of the X-ray X-absorption edges for the fir.st transition series elements and for some other elements important in catalysis are shown in Table I, both in wavelength (angstrom) units and energy (electron volt) units. The values represent the mid-point of the first steep rise in the X-absorption spectrum of the element, generally in the form of the metal. All are from the publications of Cauchois IS).

Other units that you may encounter, especially in connection with spectroscopic data are for wavelength. Angstrom (A 1 A = 0.1 nm) for energy, electron volt (eV 1 eV = 96.5 k mol- ) for wavenumber (v = X- ), reciprocal centimetre (cm ). Sometimes cm is employed as though it were an energy unit, but this is only a convenient shorthand. Some organic photochemists still use calorie (cal 1 cal = 4.18 ) as their preferred energy unit.

In the electromagnetic spectrum, the ultra violet region is between that of X-rays and visible light. This corresponds to the energies hv ot one hundred to a few tens of electron-volts (wavelengths from 180 to 400 nm). 

A strong point of EELS is that it detects losses in a very broad energy range, which comprises the entire infrared regime and extends even to electronic transitions at several electron volts. EELS spectrometers have to satisfy a number of stringent requirements. First, the primary electrons should be monochromatic. Second,...

Note that we are interested in nj, the atomic quantum number of the level to which the electron jumps in a spectroscopic excitation. Use the results of this data treatment to obtain a value of the Rydberg constant R. Compare the value you obtain with an accepted value. Quote the source of the accepted value you use for comparison in your report. What are the units of R A conversion factor may be necessary to obtain unit consistency. Express your value for the ionization energy of H in units of hartrees (h), electron volts (eV), and kJ mol . We will need it later. 

If there is a different material (M) on the heated metal surface, M will be evaporated as the temperature increases. The ionization energy (ionization potential, I) of M is also measured in electron volts. 

In photoelectron and related spectroscopies, ionization energies are measured. For many years such energies have been quoted in electron volts, where 1 eV = 1.602 176 462 x 10 J, and I have continued to use this unit.
