For CuMn and NiMn alloys, the dependence of the width of structureless emission band on Mn concentration is discussed. For Al_0.995Mn_0.005 alloy, distoted shape of the emission spectrum reveals the spin splitting of impurity virtual bound states.

Energy band structure and X-ray emission spectra of ZrC and ZrN

Self-consistent augmented plane wave calculations are performed for ZrC and ZrN. The charge distributions resulting from valence bands in different regions of the unit cell are discussed and compared with related compounds, where the transition metal is varied between a 3d and 4d element of group IV and V. The limitations of the rigid band model are illustrated and general trends in the chemical bonding are discussed. In connection with X-ray emission spectra (XES) matrix element effects are shown for the three spectra Zr-L_III,-M_III, and-N_III. Further, comparison between theoretical and experimental XES is made with all data available for both ZrC and ZrN.

Electronic structure of LiMnO : X-ray emission and photoelectron spectra and band structure calculations

The electronic structure of LiMnO₂ and Li₂MnO₃ was studied by means of X-ray photoelectron and soft X-ray emission spectroscopy. For LiMnO₂, LSDA and LSDA+U calculations were carried out. The LSDA+U calculations are in rather good agreement with the measured valence-band structure as well as with the magnetic and electrical properties of LiMnO₂. It is shown that the band gap in LiMnO₂ is determined by the charge-transfer effect. Received 15 March 1999 and Received in final form 14 July 1999     

X-ray emission spectroscopy of hydrogen bonding and electronic structure of liquid water

We use x-ray emission spectroscopy to examine the influence of the intermolecular interaction on the local electronic structure of liquid water. By comparing x-ray emission spectra of the water molecule and liquid water, we find a strong involvement of the a(1)-symmetry valence-orbital in the hydrogen bonding. The local electronic structure of water molecules, where one hydrogen bond is broken at the hydrogen site, is separately determined. Our results provide an illustration of the important potential of x-ray emission spectroscopy for elucidating basic features of liquids.     

X-ray band spectra and electronic structure of carbides and nitrides of zirconium,niobium and molybdenium

The L- and M-emission spectra of Zr, Mb and Mo carbides and nitrides have been studied. The spectra were excited by primary techniques, it is concluded that the valence bands of these carbides and nitrides consist of two sub-bands: a sub-band of states which participate in covalent bonds and a sub-band of states which share in the formation of metallic bonding and account for the metallic properties of these phases.     

X-ray emission spectra of small molecules

An instrument for X-ray emission studies of free molecules is described and electron and fluorescence excitations are discussed. The application of X-ray emission spectroscopy to free molecules is exemplified by the spectra of N₂, CO, NO and CO₂. From the spectra the core level binding energies of the molecules are deduced. For the diatomic molecules vibrational fine structure is resolved and analyzed in terms of different bond lengths in the initial and final states. The change in bond length, when the initial 1s vacancy is formed, is also discussed. The influence of the X-ray selection rules and molecular localization properties on the band intensities are discussed and exemplified by the O1s and C1s spectra of CO and CO₂. In the spectra about ten satellites are found.     

Electronic structure and resonant X-ray emission spectra of carbon shells of iron nanoparticles

The electronic structure of carbon shells of carbon encapsulated iron nanoparticles carbon encapsulated Fe@C has been studied by X-ray resonant emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The recorded spectra have been compared to the density functional calculations of the electronic structure of graphene. It has been shown that an Fe@C carbon shell can be represented in the form of several graphene layers with Stone-Wales defects. The dispersion of energy bands of Fe@C has been examined using the measured C Kα resonant X-ray emission spectra.     

X-ray emission spectra and electron structure of neutron irradiated V3Si

The results of the X-ray VKβ₅ emission spectra of V₃Si irradiated with fast neutrons are reported. A comparison with the spectrum for unirradiated V₃Si as well as with cluster calculations suggested that the changes observed in the electron structure of irradiated V₃Si result from antisite defects and inhomogeneous atomic distribution.     

Anisotropy of x-ray emission spectra and electronic structure of V2O5 single crystals

The results of investigation of x-rayVK- andVL-emission spectra orientation dependence for V₂O₅-single crystals are reported.

X-ray emission spectra and chemical bonding in TiC,TiN and TiO

The experimental X-ray emission spectra of titanium carbide, nitride and oxide have been obtained. Quantum-chemical calculations of the electronic structure of clusters in TiC, TiN and TiO have been carried out by the semiempirical Mulliken-Wolfsberg-Helmholtz method with self-consistency on charges and configurations. The results of these calculations are in good agreement with the X-ray spectroscopy data and offer a reasonable explanation of the experimental spectra. Chemical bonding and electronic structure of the compounds are discussed. Ionicity is shown to increase from TiC to TiO according to the electronegativity principle, the calculated charges on the metal ions being close to experimental estimates. The role of metal-metal and metal-nonmetal interactions in the chemical bonding is analysed. Vacancy models for TiO and their effect on the X-ray emission spectra are investigated. By the CNDO method with configurational interactions the optical spectrum of titanium carbide has been calculated. It is shown that this spectrum may be interpreted from the results for the [TiC₆] cluster, without introducing the Lye-Logothetis band scheme with negative charge on the metal ion.

X-ray spectra and electronic structure of Li x NbO2 superconductor and other niobium oxide compounds

X-ray emission Nb and OK spectra and O1s total photoelectron yield spectra for superconductor Li_0.71NbO₂ and other niobium oxide compounds NbO, BaNb₄O₆, Ba₂Nb₅O₉, BaNb₅O₈. LiNbO₂, NbO₂, LiNbO₃ were investigated. It was found that in stoichiometric LiNbO₂, niobium oxidation degree is 3+. Under the lithium deintercalation down to Li_0.71NbO₂ composition, the niobium ions oxidation degree increases up to 3.3+. As more electrons are supplied by Nb to fill the O2p band, the degree of O2p-Nb4d hybridization is increased. Using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method, the self-consistent band structure calculations of Li _x NbO₂ (x=1.0; 0.7; 0.5) compounds were carried out. Agreement between partial Nb4d and O2p densities of states and corresponding X-ray spectra was observed. For thex=0.7; 0.5 the Fermi level is placed on the slope of sharp density of states peak formed mostly by the Nb4d states. With the decrease ofx thep-d hybridization becomes stronger, although remains well below the values typical for the high-temperature superconductors.     

The local electronic structure of tin phthalocyanine studied by resonant soft X-ray emission spectroscopies

The electronic structure of thin films of the organic semiconductor tin phthalocyanine (SnPc) has been investigated by resonant and non-resonant soft X-ray emission (RXES and XES) at the carbon and nitrogen K-edges with excitation energies determined from near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra. The resultant NEXAFS and RXES spectra measure the unoccupied and occupied C and N 2p projected density of states, respectively. In particular, RXES results in site-specific C 2p and N 2p local partial density of states (LPDOS) being measured. An angular dependence of C 2p and N 2p RXES spectra of SnPc was observed. The observed angular dependence, the measured LPDOS and their correspondence to the results of density functional theory calculations are discussed. Observed differences on the same site-specific features between resonant (non-ionising) and non-resonant (ionising) NXES spectra are attributed to symmetry selection and screening.
