We have obtained X-ray emission spectra of Ga and Ge in Ca3Ga2Ge4O14, X-ray emission OKα-spectra in Ca3Ga2Ge4O14, Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 + Ce3%, and Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 + Eu4% and Xray photoelectron spectra in Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 . Our X-ray spectral studies of the Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 gallogermanate have shown that the top of the valence band near the Fermi level is formed mainly by p states of gallium and germanium as well as p states of oxygen, whose intensity is sufficiently low. The middle of the valence band is formed by gallium 3d states with oxygen 2s states lying below them. These states are hybridized with 4p states of gallium and germanium because of which there are Kβ′′-satellites in the Kβ2-subbands of gallium and germanium. The bottom of the valence band is formed by 3d states of germanium, whose contribution to chemical bonding is insignificant. The X-ray emission bands of Ga and Ge in Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 and the photoelectron spectrum of the valence electrons of Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 are in good agreement. The OKα-band changes its fine structure only slightly upon doping Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 with Ce or Eu. The investigations of intrinsic luminescence under X-rays excitation of Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 gallogermanate are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The valence band electronic structure of HfFe2Si2 has been established for the first time based on X-ray emission spectroscopy measurements. The band structure and X-ray emission spectra have been also obtained theoretically using the ab initio LMTO method in the non-relativistic approximation. The electron configuration of Si in the compound HfFe2Si2 can be described as s1.1p1.5. The theoretical and experimental results are in satisfactory agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
