Abstract
A quantitative discussion of the white line at the L3 edge of platinum and its absence at the L2 edge in x-ray absorption is presented. The predominance of d52 character in the hole in the atomic 5d shell of Pt is shown to persist in the unoccupied portion of the d band of the metal. The total weight in the L3-edge white line is calculated and found consistent with the experimental value. A brief presentation of some experimental results is given including some suggestion of the range of validity of the sudden approximation in x-ray absorption.
