Title: Fe-3s core-level splitting and local magnetism in Fe{sub 2}VAl

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

X-ray and soft x-ray photoelectron spectra were taken on Fe{sub 2}VAl samples. The Fe-3s spectra show a shoulder on the higher binding energy side of the main peak, split by {approx}4.7 eV. Based on current understanding of core-level multiplet splitting in transition-metal compounds, we believe this is direct evidence of a local moment in Fe{sub 2}VAl.
