Abstract

The density of empty electronic states in solid and liquid nickel has been determined employing Auger electron appearance potential spectroscopy. The observed increase of the density-of-states at the Fermi level by a factor of 1.4 in the liquid is in good agreement with available resistivity data. An increase of d-holes from 0.6 to 1.0 upon fusion is also found and interpreted in terms of a reduced d- d-interaction in the liquid state.
