Abstract

The valence bands of the intermetallic compounds and have been investigated by ultraviolet photoemission utilizing synchrotron radiation. The valence bands of both alloys have a width of 7 - 8 eV with a prominent peak at a binding energy of 2.6 eV and a shoulder extending to the Fermi edge. Measurements obtained at the Pd 4d Cooper minimum and at the Ti 3p threshold indicate that the feature at 2.6 eV is largely composed of contributions from Pd 4d states, whereas the Ti 3d states contribute most strongly immediately below the Fermi level. Experimental photoemission spectra show good agreement with theoretical calculations.
