  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012746",
  "term": "X-radiation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths typically ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to photon energies from 120 eV to 120 keV. It is produced when high-energy electrons strike a metal target or during transitions of electrons between inner atomic shells. X-radiation is widely used in analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence.",
