Studies on the chemical shifts of the K x-ray absorption discontinuities of some transition metal compounds recently conducted in our laboratory have revealed that the AE vs q curves do not pass through the origin. For such systems one obtains an intercept on the AE axis, which seems to depend upon nd, the number of unpaired delectrons. As is well-known the magnetic properties of the compounds of transition metal elements are governed by the d electrons. It is show, that the magnetic properties of the transition metal compounds may be correlated with x-ray absorption spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
