Metal Ions in Solution

Caption

Metal ions in solution can be examined using soft X-ray radiation. In addition to metal ions, the free fluid stream in the vacuum also contains oxygen, which, following X-ray irradiation, begins to glow, ultimately affecting metal ion absorption. Researchers can now calculate the metal ions' absorptive strength and make inferences regarding the ions' electronic structures.
