Photoemission Verification of the Resonance Formulation ofd-Band Metals

Abstract
Photoelectron energy spectra have been measured on clean and cesiated samples of the fcc metals Rh, Ir, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au. The behavior of structure on varying the photon energy shows a consistent pattern across the series in agreement with the resonance picture. The data are used to construct empirical band structures.
