Abstract :
Different atoms achieve ionizations at different
energies. Therefore, atoms are characterized by different
responses to photon absorption in this study. That means
there exists a coefficient for their potential for photon
absorption from a photon source. In this study, we consider
the manner in which molecular constituents (atoms) absorb
photon from a photon source. We observe that there seems
to be a common pattern of variation in the absorption of
photon among the electrons in all atoms on the periodic
table. We assume that the electrons closest to the nucleus
(En) and the electrons closest to the outside of the atom
(Eo) do not have as much potential for photon absorption
as the electrons at the middle of the atom (Em). The
explanation we give to this effect is that the En electrons
are embedded within the nuclear influence, and similarly,
Eo electrons are embedded within the influence of energies
outside the atom that there exists a low potential for photon
absorption for them. Unlike En and Eo, Em electrons are
conditioned, such that there is a quest for balance between
being influenced either by the nuclear force or forces
external to the atom. Therefore, there exists a higher
potential for photon absorption for Em electrons than for
En and Eo electrons. The results of our derivations and
analysis always produce a bell-shaped curve, instead of an
increasing curve as in the ionization energies, for all elements in the periodic table. We obtained a huge data of
PAPC for each of the several materials considered. The
point at which two or more PAPC values cross one another
is termed to be a region of conflicting order of ionization,
where all the atoms absorb equal portion of the photon
source at the same time. At this point, a greater fraction of
the photon source is pumped into the material which could
lead to an explosive response from the material. In fact, an
unimaginable and unreported phenomenon (in physics)
could occur, when two or more PAPCs cross, and the
material is able to absorb more than that the photon source
could provide, at this point. These resulting effects might
be of immense materials engineering applications.
