inner orbital X-ray emission spectra

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.I03050
X-ray spectral lines generated by the transition of electrons between 'inner orbitals'. The term 'inner orbital' serves to designate the sharp, not degenerate electronic levels of atoms in a solid and therefore is a general term for all orbitals except the @V06589@.
