Abstract

The technique is presented of restoring the electronic density of states of the valence band from data of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The originality of the technique consists in using a stochastic procedure to solve an integral equation relating the density of states and X-ray photoelectron spectra. The results are presented for bulk metals of gold, silver, and copper. The method can be applied to materials with unknown crystal structure, such as ensembles of nanoclusters.
