Abstract = {{The electronic states of the theta' phase formed by thermal aging in the
   Al-Cu (0.5 at. %) alloy are compared with those in C16-CuAl2, which is
   the final phase separated at equilibrium. This is done by means of Cu
   L(alpha) fluorescence spectroscopy. The high brilliance of undulator
   radiation used as an excitation source is exploited. The spectra are
   taken using the first harmonic of the undulator at 1.7 keV, with a full
   width half maximum of similar to 250 eV. A narrowing of around 0.5 eV of
   the Cu L(alpha) spectra in the theta' phase is found. This is explained
   in terms of the differences in the Cu Sd-Cu 3d interaction in the two
   phases and of the hybridization between Cu 3d and the nearly
   free-electron-like electrons. The results demonstrate the future
   possibilities of fluorescence spectroscopy of minority species in
   inhomogeneous systems.}},
