Publisher Summary The chapter discusses X-ray absorption and emission spectra. This
chapter is dedicated to a review of modern X-ray absorption spectroscopy of lanthanides, in …

For a number of metallic and nonmetallic U systems as well as a few Th compounds, the
near-edge x-ray-absorption fine-structure spectra, taken by transmission and total-electron …

Soft x‐ray absorption spectroscopy in the M‐edge region is explored as a tool for studying 4
f instabilities. The quasiatomic M IV, V spectra, recorded by total‐electron yield under UHV …

The consequences of the degeneracy between configurations with different populations of
atomiclike f states are studied systematically for a number of light rare-earth materials (Ba …

In 1949 Zachariassen and Pauling I suggested that the isostructural ya transition of Ce metal
is due to a transition of the Ce valence from three to four. In 1961 Gschneidner2 estimated …

A comparison of photoemission from shallow core levels with deep core-level
spectroscopies allows a distinction between mixed valency and covalency in rare-earth …

A detailed description of a deconvolution technique for valence determination from mixed-
valent L III-spectra is given. It is shown that from L III-spectra valence numbers can be read …

A tetravalent cerium macrocyclic complex (Ce L K4) was prepared with an octadentate
terephthalamide ligand comprised of hard catecholate donors and characterized in the …

Results of L III absorption spectroscopy measurements on a wide range of Ce–transition-
metal (T) compounds are presented and Ce valence-state estimates are made. We are able …

Detailed Mössbauer effect and L III absorption spectroscopy experiments on a sample of
EuPd 2 Si 2 are reported. A quantitative correlation of these two valence sensitive …
