Inner shell electron impact

Deviations from Rutherford cross-sections are also found for heavy projectiles at lower impact energies, when the projectile can bind inner shell electrons which screen the nuclear charge. These deviations are usually small and can easily be taken into account by use of a theoretical correction [3.160]. 

In kinetic emission, at higher kinetic energy above a certain threshold energy the impact of an ion can cause the emission of an electron from an inner shell. The core-ionized atom may subsequently decay by an Auger decay, which leads to the emission of another electron.

Abstract Electron impact inner-shell ionization cross-section (EIICS) calculations of neutral atoms with atomic numbers Z = 6-92 for /6-shell, Z = 18-92 for E-shell, and Z = 79-92 for M-shell have been reviewed. In this work, the evaluations of the EIICS are discussed using our recently propounded easy-to-use models that are found adequately successful in describing the experimental cross sections. The selection of the range of atomic number Z for different inner-shells was guided by the availability of the EIICS data either from experiments or from rigorous quantal calculations. Details of the models have been...
