Density of states of Zn and β-Brass

  • Published:
Physics of condensed matter

Abstract

The X-ray photoemission spectrum of the valence band of β-Brass is compared with those of Cu and Zn and with a band structure calculation. The positions of thed-bands in the alloy are found to be readily explained by using the vacuum level as a reference.
