| Abstract: | The experimental data on the x-ray emission bands of AIII BV compounds corresponding to transitions with valence band states as initial states are compiled. The comparison of the observed emission band widths and line shapes with band structure data and also with the simple semiconductor model due to PENN shows that most of the observed structure can be explained if one assumes that the K-emission bands reflect the p-like part and the L-emission bands the s-(and d-) like parts of the total valence band state density. |
