Abstract
XANES has been used to probe the low-lying vacant states in the Period 15 sulfide semi-conductors M2S3 (M = As,
Sb, Bi). The As K- and L3-, Sb K- and L3-, and Bi L3- and L1-edges are related to the S K-edge XANES in terms of bands
of mixed orbital character. In the K-edge spectra transitions from the 1s state to states of some p character can be seen in the
region between 5 eV before the edge and 15 eV after it. The S spectra are alike showing the similar nature of the electronic
structure of these compounds. The white line intensity decreases down the period showing the density of empty S 2p states at
the Fermi level is also decreasing. The Period 15 spectra are related to theoretical band structure calculations for As2S3.
