Abstract

Ternary and quaternary bulk amorphous Pd-Ni-P and Pd-Ni-Fe-P alloys were prepared by fast quenching in water. X-ray photoemission spectra of Pd-Ni-P have previously been measured by Alamgir et al. (Phil. Mag. B 79, 239 (1999)). These results have been extended by (a) measuring the Auger spectra and the Auger parameters of key elements, (b) cross correlating the data with PdNi binaries, and (c) investigating the effects of adding Fe. It is shown that the Auger parameters change systematically across the composition range and the results are discussed in terms of possible charge transfer, changes in d-band character, and covalent bonding.
