Abstract
Core-electron-spectroscopy studies have been made for CeNbS 3 , which is one of the misfit-layer compounds. The Ce 3d and 4d x-ray photoemission (XPS) spectra are quite similar to those in CeSe. Ce exists mainly as a trivalent ion and the 4f electrons hybridize with other conduction and valence electrons. The S 2p XPS spectrum exhibits only a broad peak which consists of plural spin-orbit-split structures at different chemical environments. We find some evidence which indicates interlayer interaction and electron transfer from the Ce 5d band to the Nb d z 2 band. The Nb n 2,3 inner-shell-electron energy-loss spectrum exhibits a small peak just above the threshold, indicating that the d z 2 band is still incompletely filled after charge transfer
