SUPERDIFFUSION AND AUGER THERAPY PRODUCED WITH X-RAYS

X-rays causes very fast crystallization of NaCl, KCl in a saturated water solution and allows for the introduction of phosphorus, boron and carbon in crystal silicon at room temperature. These new techniques or superdiffusion, based on the introduction of impurities to the Si lattice without damaging it can be used for production of a new kind of electronics devices including solar cells of high quality. Similarly, superdiffusion based on Auger effect, generates electrons of low kinetic energy, which can be used for DNA cell damage, over a very short range, for cancer therapy. It is a more progressive method than radiation therapy by ions or protons with energies of about 100 MeV. Low energy (10 - 20 eV) Auger electrons or initial X-ray photons (10-20 keV) damages the DNA or its components, but leaves the remainder of the cell intact.
