In X-ray spectroscopy and other X-ray characterization techniques, a special form of notation is used to indicate atomic orbitals and the movement of electrons between discrete energy levels when interacting with X-ray radiation. This nomenclature is known as X-ray notation and Siegbahn notation, as opposed to the spectroscopic notation (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, ... ) used in most areas of chemistry.
