THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE AUGER-SPECTRA OF MG IN DIFFERENT LOCAL ATOMIC ENVIRONMENTS .2. MG-PD ALLOYS

The energy distribution of valence electrons localized around the atoms of components of Mg-Pd alloys and around the Mg+ (with a core hole) impurity is calculated using the linear muffin tin orbital-Green function method. On the basis of calculation results the theoretical MgKL1 V and MgKL2,3 V spectra are obtained for the MgPd and MgPd3 alloys and for the Mg impurity in Pd metal. The partial composition and hybridization of the Mg and Pd electron states are analyzed and the interpretation of the intensity distribution in the Auger spectra is given.
