Abstract

A recent synchrotron radiation experiment in which the absorption of high energy x-rays by soot particles in an ethylene flame has revealed what seems to be a complex interaction mechanism involving collisions between Auger electrons, and secondary electrons with nano-particles in an aggregated structure. The overall electron loss thus generated, produces. local charging of the particles resulting in a Coulomb explosion. The implications for astrophysics and combustion physics will be discussed and a brief commentary on aggregate matter physics and chemistry will be presented.
