A. Simunek et G. Wiech, CONTRIBUTION OF D-LIKE STATES TO MAGNESIUM, ALUMINUM AND PHOSPHORUS L-EMISSION BANDS OF MGO, AL2O3 AND ALPO4, Zeitschrift fur Physik. B, Condensed matter, 93(1), 1993, pp. 51-55
We have measured the Mg L-, Al L- and P L-emission bands of MgO, alpha
-Al2O3 and AlPO4, respectively. For MgO and Al2O3 the electronic struc
ture and the X-ray emission bands have been calculated. In spite of di
fferent crystal structure and chemical composition of these compounds
the cation L-emission bands are very similar. We have found that for t
he interpretation of the L-emission bands of these compounds the catio
n 3d-like electrons are crucial.
