Abstract
The full, ordered, antiferromagnetic Heusler alloy Pd(2)MnIn has been investigated using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy. The Pd 4d Cooper minimum at 130 eV photon energy and the Mn 3p to 3d resonance at 49.5 eV photon energy have been used to determine the partial spectral weights of the Pd 4d and Mn 3d derived states. These partial spectral weights are consistent with published partial density of states calculated using the augmented spherical wave method. A quantitative fit of the resonant profile yielded an asymmetry parameter of 1.6 ± 0.4, indicating delocalization of the filled Mn 3d states.
