Local electronic structures at selected sites of intermetallic perovskites Mn3MeX (Me=divalent metal, X=N, C)

Summary

We have measured the XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) spectra on the manganese and metal MeK-edges of the intermetallic perowskites Mn3MeX (X=N, Me=Mn, Cu, Zn, Ga, Sn; X=C, Me=Ga, Sn) to investigate the distribution on the partial density of the empty states. The information on the local electronic structure at the two differents sites, obtained from the spectra in the first 10 eV above the onset, is discussed in terms of one-electron band model. The relative shape changes in the spectra between the different compounds are explained by the different magnitude of hybridization between the electronic states of different atoms and/or the filling of the empty band by the electrons supplied by the substituted metal. Moreover, information about the local geometrical structure has been obtained from the (10÷50) eV range of the spectra.

Riassunto

La distribuzione della densità parziale degli stati vuoti nelle perovskiti intermetalliche Mn3MeX (X=N, Me=Mn, Cu, Zn, Ga, Sn; X=C, Me=Ga, Sn) è stata studiata mediante spettroscopia XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) alle soglieK del Mn e del metallo Me. Le informazioni sulla struttura elettronica locale di entrambi i siti, ottenute dall’analisi dei primi 10 eV degli spettri XANES, sono discussed in termini di un modello proposto. Il cambiamento relativo della forma negli spetttri dei diversi composti è posto in relazione alla differente ibridizzazione tra stati di atomi diversi e/o dal riempimento degli stati della banda vuota con elettroni forniti dal metallo sostituente. Sono state anche ottenute informazioni sulla struttura geometrica locale analizzando gli spettri nell’intervallo da 10 a 50 eV.
