摘要
Valence electronic structure of beta-FeSi2 single crystal has been investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The plate-type beta-FeSi2 single crystal has been grown by chemical vapor transport method. The surface contamination and oxide layer were removed by Ne+ ion sputtering. The dependence of the valence band spectra on exciting photon energy shows that the strong peak at the binging energy (E-Bin) of 0.5 eV and the shoulder peak at E-Bin = 8 eV are assigned to be Fe3d and Si3p orbitals, respectively. Upon the excitation of Fe2p(3/2), resonant enhancement of the valence band was observed at E-Bin = 3.7 eV, which is very similar to Fe metal. This fact suggests the existence of the two-hole satellite states from Fe3d orbitals. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.
