Abstract

$K$ -edge photoabsorption measurements of the $4 d$ transition metals (Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, and Ag) using synchrotron radiation from the 12-GeV electron synchrotron at the Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory at Cornell reveal considerable fine structure on or above (∼ 150 eV) the edge. Systematics in the features closest to the absorption edge are attributed to structure in the "local-band-structure" density of states. This work points to the need for angular-momentum-resolved density-of-states calculations for energies far above the Fermi surface and for $L$ -edge photoabsorption studies.
