Studies on the 3d transition metals in the past have revealed interesting phenomena, including a so-called ‘anomalous’ branching ratio of the early transition metal atoms and the development of the branching ratio from the atom to the bulk. Here we present the first resonant 2p-3d measurements of size selected calcium, early transition metals (Sc) and later transition metals (Ni, Cu). By means of resonant x-ray absorption spectroscopy on size selected clusters an insight into the development of the electronic structure of calcium (d⁰), scandium (d¹), nickel (d⁹) and copper (d¹⁰) clusters is obtained. A detailed discussion including a comparison between the early transition metal and calcium on the one hand and the late transition metals on the other hand will be given.
