Satellite structure in the xhyphen;ray photoelectron spectra of theKshell of transition metal compounds

摘要

Satellite structure has been measured in the xminus;ray photoelectron spectra for FeCl3, FeBr3, K3Fe(CN)6, and K4Fe(CN)6. Specifically, comparisons were made of the satellites found in photoelectron spectra of the 2pand 1ssubshells of iron. To interpret the data, calculations are presented on electron shake up and shake off, and multiplet splitting as a function of the location of the inner shell vacancy in iron. It is demonstrated, theoretically, that satellite structure found in the photoionization of theKshell of iron must be due to electron shake up andnotmultiplet splitting. From experimental data on FeCl3and FeBr3, the conclusion is reached that the satellite structure formed as the result of photoionization in the 2pshell is due primarily to electron shake up.
