X-ray spectra of 3d metals of Heusler alloys and La${}_{1-x}$Sm${}_x$Mn${}_2$Si${}_2$ compounds

The Mn x-ray emission spectra and x-ray photoemission spectra of Mn-based Heusler alloys Co${}_2$MnAl, Co${}_2$MnSb and La${}_{1-x}$Sm${}_x$Mn${}_2$Si${}_2$ compounds (x=0, 0.8) have been measured and discussed in connection with a value local magnetic moment at Mn site. The spectra peculiarities reflect also the localization degree of 3d valence electrons of 3d metals in considered compounds.
