Module electron_be

This module contains a list of binding energy in eV for electronic levels of atoms. These data are experimental values taken from the X-Ray data booklet.

This module is used by msspec to infer kinetic energy values when they are not specified. For example, to get the Au 4f7/2 binding energy (remembering that gold atomic number is 79 and that the 4f7/2 level is n7 in spectroscopic notation…)

from msspec.data import electron_be
print(electron_be[79]['n7'])
