Group lib elements

Group lib elements form compound semiconductors with the chalcogenides and have a variety of other uses. The most common conductors are the group Ib elements Cu and Au with Ag also occasionally used. Transition metals are commonly used in compound form either as silicides or nitrides, primarily as stable contact materials bridging between Si and a highly conductive metal, or as diffusion barriers. The rare... 

Compounds containing group-lIB-transition-metal bonds arc characterized for almost every transition metal. Although there are more derivatives containing Hg than Zn or Cd, there is no difficulty in producing analogous compounds of each of these metals. No compound is known in which Zn, Cd or Hg is bonded to either lanthanide or aetinidc elements. 

Group lib of the periodic table includes two very important ele ments, zinc and mercury, and one element, cadmium, which has four d rather limited use. 

In recent years, several groups have proposed the use of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy as a technique capable of giving information on the pigment compositions with minimal damage of the artwork. However, until the development of quantitative methods for accurate elemental analysis, the LIBS technique was hardly competitive with other methods for quantitative analysis of the samples.

The groups I, II, and III are considered to include the elements in corresponding places at the left side of all the periods, and V, VI, and VII the elements at the right side. The central elements of the long periods, called the transition elements, have properties differing from those of the elements of the short periods these elements are discussed separately, as groups IVa, Va, Via, Vila, VIII (which, for historical reasons, includes three elements in each long period), Ib, Ilb, I lib, and IVb. 

Bohr has made this conception more precise by assuming that, in the group So to Ni, the series of the 3 - and 32-orbits are completed by 3,-orbits. We shall consider later how such a completion of inner groups can occur for the present it may be mentioned that the interpretation of the complex spectra of Sc to Ni2 fully confirm this assumption. The appearance of the last M-term in the X-ray spectra of Cu (cf. fig. 16, p. 179) shows that 33-orbits are actually present in the interior of the atoms of the following elements. The 33-orbits in the core do not prevent the existence of excited 33-orbits in the exterior, as the table on p. 190 shows for Cu, Zn, Ga, lib.
