WHAT DOES AUGER EFFECT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Auger effect

The Auger effect /oʊˈʒeɪ/ is a physical phenomenon in which the filling of an inner-shell vacancy of an atom is accompanied by the emission of an electron from the same atom. When a core electron is removed, leaving a vacancy, an electron from a higher energy level may fall into the vacancy, resulting in a release of energy. Although most of the time this energy is released in the form of an emitted photon, the energy can also be transferred to another electron, which is ejected from the atom. This second ejected electron is called an Auger electron, after one of its discoverers, Pierre Victor Auger. Upon ejection the kinetic energy of the Auger electron corresponds to the difference between the energy of the initial electronic transition into the vacancy and the ionization energy for the electron shell from which the Auger electron was ejected. These energy levels depend on the type of atom and the chemical environment in which the atom was located.

Definition of Auger effect in the English dictionary

The definition of Auger effect in the dictionary is the spontaneous emission of an electron instead of a photon by an excited ion as a result of a vacancy being filled in an inner electron shell.
