Influence ofsp−dhybridization on the electronic structure of Al-Mn alloys
2008
The influence of $sp\text{\ensuremath{-}}d$ hybridization on the electronic structure of different Al-Mn alloys has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. Experimental evidence of a pseudogap in a crystalline binary Hume-Rothery alloy is provided. The pseudogap varies systematically with Mn concentration. The $sp\text{\ensuremath{-}}d$ hybridization alone, even in the absence of Hume-Rothery mechanism, can produce the pseudogap. Existence of the pseudogap, suppression of the $\mathrm{Mn}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}2p$ satellite, and decrease in the Doniach-\ifmmode \check{S}\else \v{S}\fi{}unji\ifmmode \acute{c}\else \'{c}\fi{} asymmetry parameter are the consequences of the $sp\text{\e…
Understanding the2pcore-level spectra of manganese: Photoelectron spectroscopy experiments and Anderson impurity model calculations
2007
Using high-resolution core-level photoelectron spectroscopy and modified Anderson impurity model calculations, we study the $\mathrm{Mn}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}2p$ spectrum of manganese metal and resolve the current debate about its spectral shape. An unusual satellite feature, $1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$ from the main peak, is observed in the $\mathrm{Mn}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}2{p}_{3∕2}$ spectrum of a thick Mn layer grown on Al. It originates from intra-atomic multiplet effect related to Mn atoms with large local moment. The satellite decreases in intensity for thin Mn layers and for Al deposition on bulklike Mn because of enhanced $\mathrm{Mn}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0e…
