Abstract: | The V Lα, P Kβ and O Kα X-ray emission spectra for solid solutions YVO4—YPO4 and EuVO4—EuPO4 have been studied. It is shown that with an increase in concentration of orthophosphate in a substitutional solid solution a hump appears in the low energy part of the V Lα spectrum, corresponding in energy to the P Kβ spectrum. The cluster calculation of the electronic structure of solid solutions YVO4—YPO4, carried out by the Extended Hückel method, explains this effect as due to the hybridization of V 3d and P 3p states when PO4 ] complexes are introduced into the orthovanadate tetrahedral lattice. |
