In the empty atoms electrons are not found around the core in the inner layers, but in the outer layers. All electrons containing empty atoms to normal atoms are manufactured “removed”. Subsequently, these “superions” are placed a source of electrons next to which only the outer layers of atoms are filled.

However, the vacuum atom thus obtained tries to return to its normal state and electrons jump and drop layer by layer, projecting photons each time. However, scientist Jean-Pierre Briand and his team at the University of Paris VI have seen that these jumps are different in metal atoms, semiconductors and insulators. Atoms fill differently, and this phenomenon can serve to differentiate surfaces.
