Title: Electronic structure and the x-ray photoemission spectrum of the Kondo-dense compound UCu{sub 5}Al

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

UCu{sub 5}Al belongs to a class of Kondo-dense compounds. The electronic structure has been studied by combining x-ray photoemission spectroscopy results with those obtained in the band structure calculation. The latter was carried out by using the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method in the atomic sphere approximation. Reasonable agreement between the experimental and calculated data has been achieved. A complex satellite structure observed in the core-level spectra may suggest that the uranium atoms have some mixed valence character, as is the case of other uranium heavy fermion systems.
