Isomer Shifts and Electronic Structure of Pd-Sb Alloys

Abstract

${\mathrm{Sb}}^{121}$ isomer shifts are presented for $\alpha$-phase Pd-Sb alloys and for the compounds PdSb and Pd${\mathrm{Sb}}_2$. The results are compared with similar data for Pd-Sn and Pd-Au, and it is shown that they are compatible with a model in which the solute atoms are almost perfectly screened by conduction electrons.
