Abstract

The XPS valence band spectra of polycrystalline Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo and Hf have been measured with a resolution of 0.6 eV. The spectra were compared with theoretical densities of states. Good agreement is achieved if the partial densities of states are considered and a many body line shape function and life time broadening are taken into account. The sigularity index α determined at various core lines as well as the experimentally determined relative valence band cross sections are reported.
