Abstract: | A study of the 5d6s conduction band in Eu and Gd by soft X-ray spectroscopy is presented. Our observation that the density of occupied d states is lower for Eu than for Gd is supported by band structure calculations. For Gd, the convolution integrals between the 3p3/2 inner level Lorentzian distribution and the A.P.W. densities of states are compared with our experimental Mm spectra. The position of the occupied 4f states with respect to the Fermi level is determined, compared with X-ray photoemission data and discussed for both metals. |
