New results are presented on the dependence on energy hv of the photoemission cross sections from d states of d atoms interacting with silicon (Si-Pd and Si-Ag). It is shown that the Cooper minimum is influenced by the atomic environment and that the Cooper effect is more pronounced when the interaction between the d atom and silicon becomes weaker. This approach together with an analysis of the shape of photoelectron spectra at the Cooper minimum is used in a discussion of the electron states in the reacted region of Si-Pd and Si-Mo interfaces.
