Abstract
Abstract X-Ray photoelectron spectra of the nonstoichiometric lutetium monosulfides Lu3S4 and Lu2S3 were investigated. Binding energies for the S 2p, Lu 4d, and Lu 4f levels were measured. It is shown that the bonding in the monosulfide compositions and Lu3S4 is predominantly covalent, while that in Lu2S3 is relatively more ionic. Binding energies for lutetium in the pure metal and Lu2O3 are also reported.
