A material irradiated with electrons emits x-rays having energies characteristic of the elements present. Chemical combination between elements results in a small shift of the peak energies of these characteristic x-rays because chemical bonds between different elements have different energies. The energy differences of the characteristic x-rays resulting from valence electron transitions can be used to identify the chemical species present and to obtain information about the chemical bond itself. Although these peak-energy shifts have been well known for a number of years, their use for chemical-species identification in small volumes of material was not realized until the development of the electron microprobe.

In experiments on irradiation of metal surfaces by ions of keV energy, the emission of X-ray laser beams from the metal was observed not only during irradiation but also 20 h after it was switched off (from the “dead” sample). In contrast to a usual laser, the emitted collimated X-ray beams were of continuous frequency. In this paper the mechanism of that phenomenon is proposed. Subatomic electron states are formed inside the metal. These states are associated with anomalous wells within the subatomically small (10−11 cm) region. An anomalous well is formed by the local reduction (of MeV scale) in that region of zero point electromagnetic energy. States in anomalous wells are long-lived, which results in population inversion and the subsequent laser generation observed. The energies of emitted X-ray beams are due to the conversion of zero point electromagnetic energy (X-ray laser beams from vacuum).

γ1-AuZn2.1 in the Au–Zn binary system has been synthesized and its structure analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the trigonal space group P31m (No. 157) with ∼227 atoms per unit cell and represents a \surd3a × \surd3a × c superstructure of rhombohedrally distorted γ-Au5–x Zn8+y . The structure is largely tetrahedrally closed packed. The formation of γ1-AuZn2.1 can be understood within the framework of a Hume-Rothery stabilization mechanism with a valence electron concentration of 1.68 e/a (valence electrons per atom).
