They will measure soft x-ray emission spectra excited by light                  from the low energy storage ring of the National Synchrotron                    Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory.  The measurements               are made with a spectrometer facility recently constructed with                 support from NSF, and the three institutions participating in the               research (Univ. of Tenn., National Bureau of Standards, and the                 Oak Ridge National Laboratory).  The spectrometer facility is                   unique in its use of photon excitation, its wide energy range                   (100-1000 eV photons), high resolution, and superior measuring                  efficiency.  X-ray emission spectroscopy permits the detailed                   study of the electronic states of elements, of individual                       components of compounds and alloys, and of impurities, clusters                 and minor contituents imbedded in solid systems.  It is less                    surface sensitive than electron spectroscopies, and when                        combined with photon excitation, is useful for the study of                     fragile compounds that are damaged by electron excitation.                      Several experiments are planned:  studies of light metal alloys,                Boron alloys and compounds, high Tc superconducting alloys,                     semiconducting compounds, rare gas solids, clusters imbedded in                 various solid matrices, and multilayer systems.
