The Features of Auger Destruction in Quasi-One-Dimensional Objects of Inorganic and Organic Nature

Abstract

Within the framework of the concept of complexity, a three-stage model of Auger destruction of inorganic and organic polymers, including the RNA of SARS-CoV-2 virus, was constructed. The possibility of selective choice of the initial K-ionization, as well as the way of realizing a giant decrease in the threshold dose of inactivation/destruction due to combined nonlinearity caused by local deformation (bending and chirality) and elemental composition around the atom - the Auger cascade pattern, has been shown. The arguments for the manifestation of this mechanism of Auger destruction as the reason for the experimentally discovered effect of suppression of serious COVID pneumonia are presented. The analogies of the manifestation of Auger destruction in objects of animate and inanimate nature are discussed. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
