röntgenutsläpp
Röntgenutsläpp is a Swedish term that translates to X-ray emission in English. It refers to the phenomenon where an atom or molecule emits a photon of X-ray radiation. This typically occurs when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level within the atom. The energy difference between these levels is released as an X-ray photon.
X-ray emission can be a result of various processes. One common mechanism is photoelectric absorption, where
The energy of the emitted X-ray photons is characteristic of the element from which they are emitted,
