Resonant photoemission spectroscopy study of UTSn (T=Ni,Pd)

Abstract The electronic structures of the localized 5f system UTSn (T=Ni, Pd) have been investigated using photoemission spectroscopy (PES). The U 5f PES spectra of UTSn exhibit a broad peak centered at ≈0.3 eV below E F with rather small spectral weight near E F ( N f (E F )) . The small N f ( E F ) in UTSn is found to be correlated with the T d PES spectra that have a very low DOS near E F .
