Abstract
A double crystal spectrometer has been used to measure the shapes of the -emission lines and the -absorption edges of zinc and nickel in two zinc-nickel alloys containing 17 percent zinc and 30 percent zinc by weight, respectively. These lines arise from transitions of valence and 3d electrons into the empty shell. In the two alloys the zinc emission line and absorption edge are shifted about a volt toward lower energies and the line is narrowed. Nickel is changed only slightly. The results indicate that the higher energy valence electrons of zinc are shared with nickel and probably go into states about the nickel atoms.
