Abstract
Photoelectron spectra excited by x radiation are reported for the band-structure part on clean films of the rare-earth metals Nd, Sm, Dy, and Er. The dominant part of the spectra is due to excitation of electrons. The spectra exhibit a complex and extended structure which is interpreted in terms of multiplet splitting of the final state in the photoemission process.
