Abstract
In a preceding letter1 we have shown that the k- and the L- speotra from aluminium in the metallic state are definitely diffrent from those found with the non conducting compound Al2O3 analogous phonomena were found by sieghahn and karlsson also in the k-series of magnesium with the pure element and magnesium oxide (Mg O) (in publication elsewhere). The metals in these cases give broad bands with a sharp edge towards the shorter wave-lengths, which may be explained as transitions from the levels of the conduction electrons. The widths of the bands correspond fairly well with those calculated from the theory.
