摘要
The electronic structure of Ce1-xLaxNiSn and Ce1-xLaxRhSb has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. The x-ray excited valence-band spectra are compared with ab initio electronic-structure calculations using the linearized muffin-tin orbital method. The results have been used to compare and contrast the effect of La substitution on the ground state properties of the Kondo insulators CeNiSn and CeRhSb. The Ce 3d x-ray photoemission spectroscopy spectra show evidence for the mixed valence state of Ce in CeRhSb alloys, as also seen for CeNiSn, whereas the spectra for the La substituted (Ce,La)NiSn compounds show only evidence for a purl Ce3+ ground state. We suggest the presence of Kondo-hole states in Ce1-xLaxRhSb.
