Abstract
The emission spectra of the niobium carbides NbC0.66, NbC0.83, and NbC0.98 have been investigated. An increase in the intensity of the second region of the band and a decrease in that of the short-wave region have been observed. This is due to an increase in the number of local Nb-C bonds with rise in carbon concentration. The concentration of collective electrons varies only slightly, being 2.7–3.6 × 1022 cm-3. It is concluded that there is a reduction in the weight of d-states in the wave functions of the collective electrons as compared with pure niobium and that the value is 0.5–0.66.
