Siegbahn theory

A more detailed perturbation theory analysis leads to an improved correction formula. This method, known as the Davidson and Silver or Siegbahn correction, is... 

Even though Einstein developed the theory of the photoelectric effect in 1906 photoelectron spectroscopy, as we now know it, was not developed until the early 1960s, particularly by Siegbahn, Turner and Price.

The Lorentzian shape of x-ray emission lines is well founded in quantum theory and has been substantiated experimentally (Hoyt, 1932). Siegbahn et al. (1967) discuss the aluminum anode x-ray source as applied to ESCA. Beatham and Orchard (1976) list doublet separations and half-widths derived from the literature and optimized by computer simulation. Kallne and Aberg (1975) and Senemaud (1968) also provide values.

The theoretical treatments of the MMO meehanism are based on high level quantum mechanical methods that form models of the diiron site in which the ligand geometry is built from X-ray erystallographie studies and other biophysieal techniques. The caleulations of Siegbahn and eoworkers based on density functional theory that were described briefly above led to...

According to this figure reflection on the elementary theory is infinitely sharp nothing is said about the intensity. Apart from intensity problems, which raise theoretical difficulties, Laue s theory reproduces the experimental relationships very well for X-rays, and it was only when very accurate measurements were made in Siegbahn s laboratory that an extension was called for from the experimental side. 

Even before the experiments of Siegbahn and Stenstrom had necessitated an extension of the kinematic theory, the intensity problems referred to above had led Darwin, and subsequently Ewald, to calculate out the actual mutual effects of the dipoles existing and capable of vibration within a crystal. Starting with... 

Theoretical calculations by Siegbahn and Crabtree [4] found the barrier for the reaction via the [PP (R)(H)] intermediate to be a little lower in energy compared with a one-step mechanism, while a study by Hill and Puddephatt favors type interactions [5]. The most recent theoretical study was conducted by Hush and co-workers using density functional theory (B3LYP functional) calculations with double-f to polarized double- basis sets [6]. They also studied solvation effects by a dielectric continuum method.
