X-Ray Spectroscopic Studies of Bonding in Iron Germanides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
X-ray emission spectra have been obtained with a single crystal spectrometer having a resolution λ/dλ of 6,640 for iron Kβ5 spectra. The spectrometer consisted of a Jarrel-Ash Microfocus unit in conjunction with a Picker diffractometer which was operated as a rocking crystal spectrometer with a stepping angle of 1/400th of a degree. Kβ5 and Kβ1,3 spectra have been obtained from iron, Fe0.9Mn0.9Ge, Fe1.60Ge, FeGe, FeGe2 and germanium. Because the K05 spectra are due to 4p - Is transitions from the 3d bands, the Kβ5 intensities are a direct measure of the overlap or hybridization of the 3d - 4s - 4p bands. The experimental results can be correlated either with orbitals derived on the basis of coordination, or more roughly with possible band distributions.
