Title: Unoccupied-band narrowing in Na and its effect on the x-ray-absorption K edge

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

The first Na K-edge absorption measurements are reported. The data reveal a narrowing of the unfilled density of states analogous to that observed in a recent photoemission study of the conduction band and in very good agreement with new band-structure calculations. The narrowing is found to be essential for obtaining compatibility among the K-edge threshold exponent, the L/sub 2,3/-edge exponent, and the singularity index in core-level photoemission.
