Relations between X-Ray LIII Absorption Limits and Lβ2,15 Lines of Mo, Rh, Pd and Ag

Abstract
With a curved crystal spectrometer X-ray L III absorption limits of Mo, Rh, Pd and Ag were studied in relation to the Lβ 2,15 lines, from the two points of view assigning the absorption limit to correspond to transitions from the L III level to (i) the outer lowest unoccupied level and (ii) the Fermi level. For the first standpoint a method of passing the lines through foils of the respective elements was used in combination with the ordinary relative wavelength measurement of the line and the absorption limit. From the results it was concluded that the reverse process of emission of the Lβ 2,15 line is closely involved in the appearance of the L III absorption limit for Mo, Rh and Pd. Next, from the second standpoint the points corresponding to the binding energy of the absorption limit were located on the absorption spectra by using the date of the measurements of photo-electrons and ESCA.
