Abstract
Bremsstrahlung isochromats of polycrystalline TiC, ZrC, HfC, VC, NbC, and TaC have been measured at a monochromator energy of 1,008.2 eV. The curves are similar to those of the pure metals, but show a secondary structure caused by the chemical binding of metal and carbon. The experimental results are compared with density-of-states calculations. Together with XPS-measurements, they allow to derive the widths of the total conduction bands of the carbides, which are compared with thed-band widths of the pure metals and with band structure calculations.
