Abstract
A series of measurements of the various core level binding energies were carried out from pure Fe and V metals and three Fe-V alloys using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. We observed a shift of the Fe and V core levels on alloying; we find that the binding energy shifts of the Fe core levels are small and those for V appear to increase with the number of Fe neighbors. We have also examined the relationship between the lineshape of the Fe 3s spectra and the Fe local moment in the Fe-V alloys. We find that a shoulder on the higher binding energy side of each spectrum becomes less apparent with increasing V concentration, i.e., as the local moment decreases. This implies that the spin-splitting of the Fe 3s core level may be used as a probe of the local moment in Fe-V alloys.
