Abstract
The connection between fundamental core excitations and X-ray edges in non-metallic solids is reviewed. By means of a cycle of the Born-Haber type which is described herein, a connection is established for an alkali halide crystal between the energy of the fundamental exciton based on a given alkali-ion core level and the energy of the corresponding excitation based on the related core level in the free alkali atom (not ion). An overview of the series of papers on core excitons of which this is the first is presented.
