Abstract
Au L(3) x-ray-absorption near-edge spectra were measured with synchrot ron radiation on a series of Au-X compounds, with X=Ga, In, Ge, and Sn . The white-line feature of the spectra, as a rough measure of charge transfer upon compound formation, was related to the local composition around the Au atoms. This enabled us to estimate the local An environ ment, in cases where its knowledge is missing.
