Their nitrogen contents relative to the platinum-group metal are estimated to be 2 from the photoemission intensity, which is consistent with the studies reported to date. The observed valence-band structures agree quite well with theoretically predicted structures for the pyrite-type PtN2, arsenopyrite-type IrN2, and marcasite-type RuN2. The origin of their extremely large bulk moduli is discussed based on the current results of the valence-band structures and core-level chemical shifts.}, pages = {064804--064804}, title = {Microbeam Hard X-ray Photoemission Study on Platinum-group Metal Pernitrides}, volume = {86}, year = {2017} }
