Abstract

The splittings of the outermost 4d, 5d and 5p bands of some strongly ionic solids have been measured using 40.81 eV ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The level splitting of the solids with initial state metal ion configurations of 4d10 and 5p6 are interpreted in terms of crystal field effects on the final state 4d9 and 5p5 ions respectively. The level splitting for solids with an initial state metal ion configuration of 5d10 6s2 are found to agree with the free ion spin-orbit splitting and this is attributed to the screening of the crystal-field symmetry by the outer two 6s electrons.
