What are the safety precautions required when performing Auger spectroscopy on radioactive samples?

Nov 19, 2023 ... Secondary Electrons: Secondary electrons have a range of energies, typically lower than Auger electrons. Their energies depend on the incident ... Here, we set out to define this relationship for Auger electron emitters [99mTc]TcO4− and [123I]I− and β−-particle emitter [188Re]ReO4−. Studies were carried ... Aug 28, 2022 ... Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is one of the most commonly employed surface analysis techniques. It uses the energy of emitted electrons to ... The KLM + KLN Auger electron spectrum of rubidium (Z = 37) emitted in the electron capture decay of radioactive 83 Sr in a polycrystalline platinum matrix Auger-electron emitting radionuclides are of great interest for internal radiotherapy due to the very short range of Auger electrons. AUGER ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY OF ALLOY SURFACES. 1975. Overbury, S.H.;; Somorjai, G.A. ... Main Content Metrics Author & Article Info. Main Content. Download PDF ... Auger electrons are electrons that are emitted when an electron from a higher energy level falls into a vacancy in an inner shell. The process usually occurs ... Auger electron emission is predominant for nuclides of low Z and is always in competition with the normal K-capture photon emission. Oct 11, 2019 ... AEs are most lethal to cancer cells when emitted near the cell nucleus and especially when incorporated into DNA (eg 125 I-IUdR). The Task Group recommends that a preliminary radiation weighting factor of 10 be used for deterministic effects of Auger electrons and a value of 20 for ...
