In this paper, X-ray photoemission studies were performed on the $4d5s5p$ elements Pd through Te using monochromatized Al ($K\ensuremath{\alpha}$) radiation.Abstract:
X-ray photoemission studies were performed on the $4d5s5p$ elements Pd through Te using monochromatized Al ($K\ensuremath{\alpha}$) radiation. With increasing atomic number the $4d$ structure evolves from $d$ bands to spin-orbit---split atomiclike core levels. Structure was observed in the $5s5p$ bands for the first time by this method. The cohesive energy was attributed to the $5p$ bands in In through Sb. Evidence for both bonding and nonbonding $5p$ bands was obtained for Te.read more

Electronic structure of aluminum and aluminum-noble-metal alloys studied by soft-x-ray and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies
TL;DR: In this paper, the main peaks in the Al 3s$ partial densities of states are at higher binding energy than those for the noble metal $d$ states, and the Auger spectra from Al-Ag and Al-Cu alloys are analyzed.

Band structure of indium oxide: Indirect versus direct band gap
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed extensive density functional theory calculations using the LDA+U and the GGA+U methods to elucidate the contribution of spin-orbit coupling on the valence band structure and concluded that the experimental observation cannot be related to the electronic structure of the defect free bulk material.
