The initial core-excited configuration is found to involve a strongly local, d-like charge which is spin polarized parallel to the core. Because the optical transition between this configuration and the ground configuration is dipole forbidden, the emission spectra mainly reflect those allowed transitions which leave the local environment in a valence-excited configuration.

The minor differences which do occur upon dilution take the form of small chemical-shifts and some very slight line-shape alterations. The alloys thus serve to illustrate the strongly local character of these outer-core transitions. Beginning at very low alkaline impurity concentrations, in contrast to the behavior of the alkaline bands, the emission bands associated with the alkali host metals show both a strong quenching of the pure-metal x-ray edge peaks and a substantial suppression of threshold emission intensity.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:15:22Z (GMT).
