X-ray spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool in research and in industrial
laboratories. It is used in the study of metals, semiconductors, amorphous solids, liquids and …

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 …

Abstract The L 1, 2, 3 edges of Pr, Gd, and Ho in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 were compared with a
variety of reference compounds in an attempt to determine their valence and electronic …

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 …

We present bulk-sensitive hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) data of the
Ce3d core levels and lifetime-reduced L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in the …

We show the presence of a quantum critical point in Ce Ru 2-x Co x Ge 2 (0≤ x≤ 2) using
detailed heat capacity and muon spin relaxation (μ SR) measurements. The millikelvin heat …

Zirconolite-based glass-ceramic is a waste matrix used for incorporating high-level waste
(HLW) which is rich in minor actinides. In this study, Ce-bearing zirconolite glass-ceramics …

We report transition-metal (T) L 2 and L 3 near-edge x-ray-absorption spectroscopy
measurements on more than a score of TX compounds with T= Au, Pt, Ir, and Re and X= Al …

The Ce2Fe17 compound has a volume that is 4% smaller than expected for a localized 4 f 1
configuration of cerium. The Ce L III absorption edge shows two peaks, at 5734 and 5740 …

We have observed the unoccupied partial Pd 4d density of states in Cu-Pd alloys by
bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS). It shows the filling of the Pd 4d band upon …
