Abstract

The $K$ -edge photoabsorption spectra of the $4 d$ metals calculated by the linear augmented-plane-wave method yield good agreement with the measured data. The prominent systematic features of the spectra, most easily discussed in terms of the $l = 1$ projected density of final states, are simply related to the underlying band structure. The results for Zr, Mo, Pd, and Ag are presented here.
