X‐Ray Spectra and Electronic Structure of the Compounds in the ZrCoSi System

X‐ray spectral studies were used to establish the electronic structure of the ternary compounds from the ZrCoSi system. X‐ray emission spectra of the components of ZrCo 2 Si 2 , ZrCoSi, ZrCo 5 Si 3 , and Zr 6 Co 16 Si 7 compounds were presented on a unique energy scale. The partial and total densities of electronic states were calculated by the half‐relativistic LMTO method for the ZrCo 2 Si 2 compound. Agreement between calculated and experimental X‐ray emission bands was observed for the components of the ZrCo 2 Si 2 compound.
