M shell

In atoms in which electrons in M or A shells take part to some extent in molecular orbital formation some transitions in the L spectmm may be broadened. Similarly, in an M emission spectmm, in which the initial vacancy has been created in the M shell, there is a greater tendency towards broadening due to molecular orbital involvement. 

Schematic illustration of K, L, M, N and O edge shapes the white lines sometimes detected on L and M shells are shown as shaded peaks at the edge onsets. In all sketches the background shape has been omitted for clarity.

In order to illustrate the use of cost indices and scaling factors, let us consider the following example. In 1992, the cost of a 50 m shell-and-tube beat exchanger was 24,000. Estimate the cost of a 100 m shell-and-tube heat exchanger of a similar type and materials of construction in 1996. 

Let us assume that the scaling factor for the heat exchanger is 0.6. Hence, in 1992, the cost of the 100 m shell-and-tube heat exchanger can be estimated from Eq. (I1I.2) to be...

The question now is, what role do the K, L, M,. . . electrons play in generating the K, L, M,. . . series The answer is not obviously predictable from a knowledge of visible or ultraviolet spectra. Neither hydrogen nor helium has a K series, although each has K electrons. Why Because the K series is generated only when the K shell contains a hole that is filled by an electron that leaves one of the outer (L, M,. . . ) shells or the generation of the K series requires (1) the absence of a K electron, (2) the presence of an outer-shell electron whose transition to the K shell is permitted by the selection rules. This picture explains why—no matter what the method of excitation—all K lines have the same excitation threshold so that all K lines appear together if they appear at all. 

The radial wave functions used are thus the hydrogen-like 2p and 3d functions, J ai(r) and J 32-(r), for all orbitals of the L and M shells, respectively the symbols pts, and i 3j, piP, p3d represent these multiplied by the angular parts 1 (for s), /3 cos 8 (for p), and /5/4 (3 cos2 0-1) (for d), rather than the usual hydrogen-like orbitals. The 2-axis for each atom points along the internuclear axis toward the other atom. 

It has been found that no significant error is introduced by combining the subgroups of an entire shell, using an average value of y for the entire K, L, M,. .. shell. With the Stoner distribution of electrons among the levels, this average value is... 

The effect of the K, L, and M shells in successive atoms is strikingly shown in figures 9 and 10 by the concentration of the curves in certain regions.

The nomenclature for the emitted x-rays is related to the shells involved in the transition, as illustrated in Fig. 10b. For example, if the initial electron is ejected from the K shell and the second electron drops from the adjacent L shell, a K-a x-ray is emitted. If the electron drops from the M shell, the emitted x-ray is a K-fi x-ray. The most common lines observed are the KIM lines. 

Figure 2.6 The X-ray emission and Auger processes. An inner vacancy in the K shell de-excites via one of two competing processes - (a) X-ray emission, in which an L electron drops down and the excess energy is carried away by an X-ray photon, or (b) the Auger process, in which an L electron drops down, but the excess energy is carried away by a third electron - in this case from the M shell.

Fig. 7.15. Photophysics associated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray fluorescence. As illustrated, in the XPS experiment one monitors the energy of the electron ejected from the M shell upon photoionization (process 1). In the XRF experiment, one monitors the fluorescence emitted from either the M shell after photoionization (process 2a), or from the L shell after photo ionization and radiationless decay (process 2b).

This particular transition results in the emission of x-ray radiation known as the K,y line. For transfer from the M shell into the K shell, the energy of the Kp line is given by ... 

The x-ray emissions are categorized as K, L, M, etc., emissions and as alpha (a) and beta (/3) emissions. It is a K emission if the electron drops from any higher level to the K shell. It is an L emission if it drops from any higher level to the L shell, etc. The a emissions are those that involve electrons that drop just one principle level, such as from the L shell to the K shell (Ka emissions) or from the M shell to the L shell (La emissions). The /3 emissions are those in which electrons drop two levels, such as from the...

Figure 5 shows the mean excitation energies of the K, L, and M shells as a function of atomic number obtained in this work (TFD(1/8)W) (solid circles) as compared to calculations by Oddershede and Sabin (OS) [33] (open squares) and the original OLPA method developed by MST [37,38] based on the LSDA-DFT (open diamonds). It seems clear from this figure that the predictions of the TFD-(l/8)W-based OLPA method for the shell (and orbital) mean excitation energies are in reasonable agreement with the other - more elaborate - calculations. We note that all the OLPA-based calculations use y, = 1.
