Abstract
The photo electron method for obtaining electron binding energies is described. The method has been applied to theL I,L II, andL III levels in hafnium. The HfK α1 and HfK α2 x-ray emission lines have been measured with a crystal spectrometer. The electron binding energies of theK toO III shells in hafnium are obtained from photo electron and x-ray emission data. A new type of Moseley diagram is described and is demonstrated for theK andL levels in theZ region 57 to 75. From these diagrams accurate binding energies for the element Pm (Z=61) have been obtained by interpolation.
