AUGER-SPECTRA AND ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF TI BASED B2 COMPOUNDS

The L3VV spectra of Me and the L3M2,3V spectra of Ti in equiatomic TiM e (where Me stands for Fe, Co, Ni, Pd ) compounds and the L3VV SpeCtra of Ni in MeNi ( where Me stands for Al, Zr, and Ti) have been recorde d. As expected, the Co and Fe L3VV spectra reveal a simple bandlike st ructure. The observed change in the L3VV Spectra parameters of Ni and Pd upon alloying indicates strengthening of the quasiatomic character of the spectra. The Ti LMV spectra are of particular interest. One est ablished that the structure of the Ti Auger spectra after deconvolutio n exactly represents the local d DOS at Ti sites in the studied B2 (Cs Cl) TiMe compounds.
