Abstract: | The valence bands of glassy and pure Pd were studied by XPS and UPS. The valence band spectra of the alloys show a strongly reduced density of states at the Fermi energy EF compared to Pd. From the measured relative photoelectric cross sections for the different excitation energies we conclude that the electron states near EF of the glassy alloys have mainly d-character. This is in good agreement with recent measurements of the low-temperature specific heat, the magnetic susceptibility and the optical reflectivity. |
