LXXVII. Soft X-ray spectroscopy of solid solutions of aluminium and magnesium

Abstract

Abstract Soft x-ray L23 bands of aluminium and magnesium when each is dissolved in the other have been examined photographically. The widths and shapes of the solute bands differ considerably both from those of the solvents and the corresponding pure metals. An attempt has been made to correlate some of the changes in terms of a Thomas-Fermi treatment of the fields around impurity atoms.
