A theoretical calculation of the fine structure for the K-absorption band of Ge in GeCl4
Abstract
The theory of the fine structure of X-ray absorption bands in molecular gases is applied to the K-absorption of Ge in GeCl4. The atomic wave functions and atomic field of the neutral Cl-atom are computed by the method of the self-consistent field. New procedures for determining the phase angles δ, occurring in the description of electron scattering as given by Faxén and Holtsmark, and required for the interpretation of the fine structure, are developed, and the δ l of neutral Cl obtained for l = 0 to l = 11 and for energies of the electrons between 0 and 200 volts. The fine structure calculated by means of these δ l is found to be in satisfactory agreement with the measurements of Coster and Klamer. The advantages and disadvantages of the fine structure analysis as compared with other methods of investigating molecular configurations are briefly discussed.
