X-ray spectra of 3d metals of Heusler alloys and   La$_{1-x}$Sm$_x$Mn$_2$Si$_2$ compounds
  The Mn x-ray emission spectra and x-ray photoemission spectra of Mn-based Heusler alloys Co$_2$MnAl, Co$_2$MnSb and La$_{1-x}$Sm$_x$Mn$_2$Si$_2$ compounds (x=0, 0.8) have been measured and discussed in connection with a value local magnetic moment at Mn site. The spectra peculiarities reflect also the localization degree of 3d valence electrons of 3d metals in considered compounds.
