Common Binding Energies – Pm 3d #

Theory and Background #

Pm has been rarely studied by XPS due to it’s rarity and radioactivity. In lanthanides the 3d core hole created in an XPS experiment interacts strongly with the partially-filled 4f shell. That interaction produces complex multiplet splitting of the 3d5/2 and 3d3/2 features and often yields multiple main components plus satellites (shake-up / shake-down, charge transfer). This is a general property across the lanthanide series and is crucial for interpreting Pm 3d spectra.[1]  For oxides or compounds where 4f–ligand (e.g., O 2p) hybridization exists, you can get charge-transfer satellites in the 3d region.

Experimental Advice #

Radioactivity from Pm may in theory cause sample damage itself.
