K-absorption spectrum of aging Al-Zn alloys

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The K-absorption spectra of aging Al-Zn alloys experience a systematic shift of the main edge during natural aging toward the short wavelength side. This is apparently due to filling of the 4S−4P shells of the zinc atoms by electrons at the expense of the aluminum atoms. Additions of Mg and Sn lead to a more intense redistribution of the outer electrons. The early zone stage of aging of Al alloys exhibits an electronic character.
