“…Excited-state satellites of Si(VI) may be present if the bulk electron temperature is sufficiently high ( 10eV), however, their energies lie in the "blue" part of the spectrum, close to the next-charge-state Si(VII) Kα transition, 18 again not affecting the sensitivity of the method. Finally, minor energy shifts (∼1eV) due to the chemical composition, 19 which should be considered, since we use silicon monoxide instead of the atomic silicon assumed in the calculations, are negligible as well.…”
