Table 1. Zn K-Edge Features and Qualitative Assignments for ZnO and ZnSa.
| label | energy (eV) | assignment |
|---|---|---|
| A | 9663.8 | Zn 1s → Zn 4sp – O 2p |
| B | 9668.4 | Zn 1s → Zn 4p – O 2p |
| C | 9679.3 | MS (11 shells midrange order) |
| D | 9683.4 | MS (5 shells short-range order) |
| E | 9662.8 | Zn 1s → Zn 4sp – S 3p |
| F | 9664.9 | Zn 1s → Zn 4p – S 3p |
| G and H | 9669.1 and 9672.6 | MS (5 shells midrange order) |
a
MS = multiple scattering and its assignment means it is a major contributor to that particular peak. Assignment of hybridized states means that it is a contributor of a peak along with short- and long-range orders.
