Band structure investigations of the random MoNi4 and MoNi3 alloys, performed by emission and photoelectron spectroscopy, is reported. The X-ray emission and X-ray photoelectron spectra allowed to study the occupied valence band states below Fermi level. These techniques gave the full description of changes in the density of valence electron states distribution due to substitution of Mo atoms into the fcc Ni lattice up to 25 at%. The analysis of the emission and photoelectron spectra led to clear distinction between the changes in spectra caused by density of states structure and by additional effects involved in creation of the particular spectra. The experimental data are compared with the density of states calculated using coherent potential approximation and linear muffin-tin orbital methods.
