摘要
Ultrahigh-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (DeltaEsimilar to8 meV) has been performed on Kondo insulators CeRhAs and CeRhSb. We found that the 4f-derived density of states shows a depletion (pseudogap) at E-F in contrast to metallic Kondo materials. It was also found that the size of both 4f-derived and conduction-electron derived pseudogaps scales well with the Kondo temperature. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
