In optics and spectroscopy, the '''radiative Auger effect''' is a decay channel of an inner-shell atomic vacancy state, in which an X-ray photon is emitted accompanying simultaneous promotion of an electron into either a bound or a continuum state. Thus the transition energy is shared between the photon and the electron.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1103/PhysRevA.4.1735 | volume = 4 | issue = 5 | pages = 1735–1740 | last = Åberg | first = T. | title = Theory of the Radiative Auger Effect | journal = Physical Review A | date = 1971-11-01 |bibcode = 1971PhRvA...4.1735A }}</ref> The effect was first observed by Felix Bloch and Perley Ason Ross,<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1103/PhysRev.47.884 | volume = 47 | issue = 11 | page = 884 | last = Bloch | first = F. |author2=P.
