Abstract

A marked resonance enhancement of the 3d photoemission intensity in angle-integrated electron-distribution curves from Ni3Al has been observed 6.6 eV below the Fermi level for photon energies in the vicinity of the Ni 2p absorption threshold. Soft x-ray L-edge absorption spectra were measured to determine the Ni 2p excitation threshold. The Fano asymmetry parameter and the effective Coulomb interaction for Ni3Al are 2.2 and 4.8 eV, respectively, as derived from the experimental data. Differences between the 2p→3d and the 3p→3d resonance effect are discussed, and comparisons with Ni, NiAl, and NiGa are made.
