Description

The Matsub 5,4at soft--x-ray appearance-potential spectrum of Yb2O3 does not show the intense structure characteristic of the lighter rare-earth elements even though a single 4f vacancy exists in Yb2O3. This indicates that the strong Matsub 5,4at spectral response of each rare-earth element previously measured using the soft--x-ray appearance potential technique is determined primarily by the availability of vacant 4f atomic states to accept both the excited d electron and the incident electron
