Spin-polarized x-ray emission of 3d transition-metal ions: A comparison via K a and K ß detection

Abstract

This paper demonstrates that spin-polarized x-ray-excitation spectra can be obtained using K a emission as well as K ß lines. A spin-polarized analysis of K a x-ray emission and the excitation spectra by K a detection on a Ni compound is reported. A systematic analysis of the first-row transition-metal ions using the ligand-field multiplet calculation is presented for K a and K ß emission spectra.
