Cd 4d spin-orbit splittings in alloys of Cd and Mg

Abstract
The valence band densities of states of Cd, Cd3Mg, Mg3Cd and Cd0.12Mg0.88 have been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The spin-orbit splittings of the 4d levels have been obtained by fitting model spectra to the data and it has been found that the spin-orbit splitting decreases steadily with Cd concentration until in Mg3Cd and Cd0.12Mg0.88 the free atom value is reached.
