High-resolution valence band XPS studies of thin film Au–Al alloys
摘要:
The Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) has been used to deconvolute the valence-band XPS spectra of thin film Au-Al alloys. The enhanced resolution allows fine changes in the electronic structures of the thin film alloys to be distinguished with the aid of the Au4f core-level spectra. This particular alloy series allows one to examine the 5d electronic interaction between gold atoms as aluminum is gradually added to the matrix. Aluminum is shown to have a much stronger quenching effect on such interactions than has been found previously for copper. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The intermetallic compounds in the Au-Al system were studied by Au-197 Mossbauer spectroscopy. The observed isomer shifts and electric quadrupole splittings are compared with the electron densities and electric field gradients at the gold nuclei obtained by LAPW calculations using the WIEN97 computer code. This provides insights into the electronic structure of Au-Al alloys and yields values for the groundstate quadrupole moment of Au-197 and for the change of the nuclear charge radius for the 77 keV transition of Au-197.
