Abstract
Simple calculations of energy losses afford an estimate of the energy of Auger electrons and X-rays absorbed by molecules containing a disintegrating57Co nucleus (approximately 35 to 50 eV). An attempt is made to determine the same quantity from the autoradiolysis model by comparing the relative abundances of various stable forms of the daughter atoms descendant from57Co with the yields of the radiolysis products formed under external irradiation in similar iron compounds. The experimental data thus obtained vary significantly from one compound to another, possibly because, apart from autoradiolysis of environmental species, other processes contribute to the observed post-effects of the57Co disintegration, such as fragmentation of excited complex molecules or rupture of chemical bonds caused by Coulomb repulsion, with subsequent recombination of fragment units.
