Fe 3d Contribution to the Valence Band of Cubic Hg$\text{}_{1-x}$Fe$\text{}_{x}$S - Resonant Photoemission Study

Resonant photoemission spectra of cubic Ηg$\text{}_{0.94}$Fe$\text{}_{0.06}$S were measured for photon energies near to the energy of intra atomic Fe 3p$\text{}^{6}$3d$\text{}^{6}$ → 3p$\text{}^{5}$3d$\text{}^{7}$ transition. The difference between the spectra taken at resonance and antiresonance is presented as a measure of the energy distribution of Fe 3d derived states. The results obtained show that Fe 3d states contribute to the whole valence band with a distinct structure appearing at the band edge.
