Abstract

Abstract We have performed RIXS measurements on Ce-containing multilayers excited with photon energies at the M 4 absorption edge. Two samples were analysed, where the 4f electron is either localized (CeH 2 ) or hybridized with the conduction band (α-Ce). Comparison between the two sets of RIXS spectra allows us to point to specific energy losses corresponding to transitions from the bonding to the antibonding states in the α-phase of cerium.
