Abstract
Ce 4f electronic states in an antiferromagnetic Kondo compound CePd 2 Si 2 and a strong intermediate-valence compound CeNi 2 Si 2 have been investigated by means of high-resolution Ce 4d–4f resonant photoemission spectroscopy at 12 K. The relative intensity of the f5/21 to f7/21 final state in the Ce 4f spectrum for CeNi 2 Si 2 is stronger than the relative intensity for CePd 2 Si 2, indicating that the intensity of Kondo resonance scales the Kondo temperature since the Ce 4f spectrum near the Fermi level dominantly reflects the bulk component. Both Ce 4f spectra have been well fitted by the spectral calculations based on a single impurity Anderson model with consideration of the bulk and surface components. Our present calculation indicates that the model is applicable to the analyses of the Ce 4f spectra of the weakly and strongly hybridized systems.
