[[Image:Auger Process.svg|thumb|280px| Two views of the Auger process. (a) illustrates sequentially the steps involved in Auger deexcitation. An incident electron (or photon) creates a core hole in the 1s level. An electron from the 2s level fills in the 1s hole and the transition energy is imparted to a 2p electron which is emitted. The final atomic state thus has two holes, one in the 2s orbital and the other in the 2p orbital. (b) illustrates the same process using spectroscopic notation, <math>KL_1L_{2,3}</math>.]]The '''Auger effect''' {{IPAc-en|oʊ|ˈ|ʒ|eɪ}} is a physical phenomenon in which the filling of an [[Inner-shell electrons|inner-shell]] vacancy of an [[atom]] is accompanied by the emission of an [[electron]] from the same atom.<ref>{{GoldBookRef|title=Auger effect|url=http://goldbook.iupac.org/A00520.html}}</ref> 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.

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. [[Auger electron spectroscopy]] involves the emission of Auger electrons by bombarding a sample with either [[X-ray]]s or energetic electrons and measures the intensity of Auger electrons as a function of the Auger electron energy. The resulting spectra can be used to determine the identity of the emitting atoms and some information about their environment. [[Carrier generation and recombination#Auger recombination|Auger recombination]] is a similar Auger effect which occurs in [[semiconductor]]s. An electron and [[electron hole]] (electron-hole pair) can recombine giving up their energy to an electron in the conduction band, increasing its energy. The reverse effect is known as [[impact ionization]].

The Auger emission process was discovered in 1922 by [[Lise Meitner]],<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1007/BF01326962|author=L.

The French physicist [[Pierre Victor Auger]] also discovered it in 1923<ref>P.

Observation of electron tracks independent of the frequency of the incident photon suggested a mechanism for electron ionization that was caused from an [[internal conversion]] of energy from a radiationless transition.

He broken to the picture in 2004 regarding his special mix of down-property availability, movie celebrity great looks and lyrics, is placed t in a significant way. The new record Top in the country chart and #2 in the put maps, creating it the next maximum first appearance during those times of 2014 to get a nation performer.

The kid of your , is aware patience and dedication are important elements with regards to an effective career- . His initially record, Remain Me, produced the Top strikes “All My Pals Say” and “Country Person,” when his effort, Doin’ Thing, discovered the performer-3 straight No. 7 single men and women: In addition Phoning Is usually a Wonderful Issue.”

Within the slip of 2000, Tour: Luke And which in fact had an impressive set of , such as Metropolitan. “It’s almost like you are acquiring a acceptance to go to another level, says these artists one direction meet and greet that have been an element of the Tourabove right into a greater amount of performers.” It wrapped as the best tours in the twenty-season history.
