Pressure and temperature dependence of the electronic structure of superconducting (SC) CeFeAsO 1 - y and non-SC CeFeAsO 1 - y have been investigated using two complementary hard x-ray spectroscopic probes at the Ce L 3 edge, partial fluorescence yield x-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy. With increasing pressure, the ratio between the intensity of the peak related to the f 0 ( Ce 4 + ) state and that of the f 1 ( Ce 3 + ) state, I ( f 0 ) / I ( f 1 ) , is found to increase continuously for both compounds, indicating a continuous increase in the Ce valence. The valence of non-SC CeFeAsO 1 - y is found to be slightly higher than that of SC CeFeAsO 1 - y in the entire pressure and temperature ranges of this study. The valence of CeFeAsO 1 - y around 6 GPa, where the superconductivity breaks down, is estimated to be ~ 3.0 , but no change in the valence is observed upon cooling. The dependence of the interatomic distances on the concentration of oxygen vacancies is studied via extended absorption fine structure spectroscopy.
