The Mn 2p core-level photoelectron spectrum of Pd–Mn bimetallic systems on Pd(100)

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetism of Mn1−xAlxNi alloys

“…Focusing on the states associated with 2p 3/2 ionization, there are structures between 638 and 642 eV and a broad feature at about 644.5 eV. Similar results were reported for Mn 2p core-level photoelectron spectra of Mn films deposited on Ag (1 0 0) [13], Ni (110) [14], Cu (10 0) [15], Pd(1 0 0) [16] and of Mn-Pd alloys and compounds [17]. A large magnetic moment was derived for Mn (about 4 m B ) in all these systems, similar to those found for Mn in Mn 1Àx Al x Ni alloys.…”

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetism of Mn–Pd alloys

“…Focussing on the states associated with 2p 3/2 ionization, there are structures between 639 and 641 eV and a broad feature at 645 eV. Similar results were reported for Mn 2p core level photoelectron spectra of Mn thin films deposited on Ag(1 0 0) [16], Ni(1 1 0) [17], Cu(1 0 0) [18] and Pd(1 0 0) [19]. A c(2 × 2) structure of Pd-Mn alloy on Pd(1 0 0) was obtained by room temperature deposition of about one monolayer Mn followed by heating to 570 K for 3 min.…”

Effects of substitution of Sb for Pd in MnPd3 compound

“…The magnitude of the Mn-and Sb-induced shift of the Pd 3d peak depends on the Mn and Sb concentration in the vicinity of the ionized Pd atom. This was also confirmed by the studies on Mn thin films of different thickness deposited on Pd [16] and on Mn x Pd 1-x alloys [5] and explained using a Born-Haber cycle. This behavior may be interpreted in terms of the Z + 1 approximation taking into account the difference in the heats of solution of Pd and Ag, which is the Z + 1 correspondence to Pd and represents the fully screened core-ionized final state [17].…”
