Experimental and theoretical study of the electronic structures of Mn1−xCrxAu2

X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) spectra of Mn1−xCrxAu2 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.08, and 0.13) are presented and compared with theoretical XANES spectra and site- and momentum-decomposed partial density of states. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectra of these compounds are also analyzed to yield the bonding parameters.
