✦ Synopsis

X-ray photoemission spectra of pafktdium prepared by vacuum evaporation and by argon ion sputtering are com- pared. The former show a close correlation with calculated band structures but the latter exhibit much less detail, strongly suggesting that the sputtered surface is amorphous. The narrow core lines of the evaporated samples show the asymmetry predicted to arise from the hole-conduction electron interaction.
