unreferenced date December 2010 Electron spectroscopy is an analytical technique to study the electronic structure and its dynamics in atom s and molecule s. In general an excitation source such as x ray s, electron s or synchrotron radiation will eject an electron from an inner shell atomic orbital orbital of an atom. Detecting photoelectron s that are ejected by x rays is called x ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS or electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis ESCA . Detecting electrons that are ejected from higher orbitals to conserve energy during electron transitions is called Auger electron spectroscopy AES . Experimental applications include high resolution measurements on the intensity and angular distributions of emitted electrons as well as on the total and partial ion yields. Ejected electrons can escape only from a depth of approximately 3 nanometers or less, making electron spectroscopy most useful to study surfaces of solid materials. Depth profiling is accomplished by combining an electron spectroscopy with a sputtering source that removes surface layers. Synchrotron radiation research work has been carried out at the MAX Laboratory in Lund, Sweden, Elettra Storage Ring in Trieste, Italy, and at ALS in Berkeley, CA.

Unreferenced date November 2009 Core electrons are the electrons in an atom that are not valence electron s and therefore do not participate in chemical bonding bonding . An example the carbon atom has a total of 6 electrons, 4 of them being valence electrons. So the remaining 2 electrons must be core electrons. They are so tightly bound to the nucleus as to be negligibly perturbed by the environment of the atom when in the solid state chemistry solid state . Therefore on the contrary of the valence electrons , the core electrons usually play a secondary role on chemical bonding and reactions and their main role is to screen the positive charge of the atomic nucleus. In transition metal s, however, the distinction between core and valence electrons is more subtle and it could be very important to consider the electrons in the highest d shells as valence rather than core electrons. Electron transition A core electron can be removed from its core level upon absorption of electromagnetic radiation X ray and excited to an empty outer shell or emitted as photoelectron photoelectric effect . The resulting atom with one of its core level a so called core hole empty is in a metastable state and decays within 10 sup 15 sup s by x ray fluorescence or by Auger effect . By detecting the emitted photoelectrons photoemission spectroscopy , the X ray photons XAS and fluorescence spectroscopy or the Auger electrons Auger electron spectroscopy useful information on the electronic and the local lattice structures of a material can be obtained. The atoms of such techniques results from the fact that since every atom has core level electrons with well defined binding energies, it is possible to select the element to probe by tuning the x ray energy to the appropriate absorption edge. For the same reason the spectra of the radiation emitted electrons or photons can be used to determine the elemental composition of a material.
