Mystery solved: ‘New Kind of Electrons’ – Science Daily
Why do certain materials emit electrons with a very specific energy? This has been a mystery for decades – scientists have now found an answer.
It is something quite common in physics: electrons leave a certain material, they fly away and then they are measured. Some materials emit electrons, when they are irradiated with light. These electrons are then called “photoelectrons.” In materials research, so-called “Auger electrons” also play an important role — they can be emitted by atoms if an electron is first removed from one of the inner electron shells. But now scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) have succeeded in explaining a completely…
