Correlation satellites in deep metal 3p core x-ray photoemission of tetravalent oxides MO/sub 2/ (M = Ce,Pr,Tb,Hf) and of LaF/sub 3/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

We have performed an x-ray photoemission (XPS) experiment using tunable x rays in the photon-energy range between 1500 and 3000 eV. The deep metal 3p core-level spectra of the tetravalent oxides MO/sub 2/, M = Ce, Pr, Tb, and Hf have been measured. The results show that the configuration interaction between localized 4f/sup n/ and 4f/sup n//sup +1/L configuration in the initial state gives final-state peaks 3p4f/sup n/, 3p4f/sup n//sup +1/L, and 3p4f/sup n//sup +2/L/sup 2/. The final states of Ce 3p core levels of CeO/sub 2/ have been calculated by the many-body theory in the frame of the filled-band Anderson model.
