Abstract

We investigated electronic and magnetic nature of A 2Co 3S 2 ( A = Sn , In ) to reveal two different characteristics of metallic Co–Sn and strongly correlated electronic Co–S bondings. Co 2p X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows a complicated and mixed-valence like feature with strong satellite. This origin can be explained by two different characteristics of Co–Sn/Co–S bonding nature. This feature is consistent with characteristic electron-density distributions obtained by the maximum-entropy method (MEM)-based pattern fitting analysis and the LSDA + U band calculation.
