Applications of x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) to the study of actinide materials are reviewed. Examples discussed here include the band structures of thorium and uranium metal, the multiplet structure associated with the 5f electron states in oxides of the transuranium elements, the test for temporal configurations in NpO/sub 2/, crystal field splitting of the U 6p/sub /sup 3///sub 2// level in a series of uranyl compounds, mixed oxidation states in Cf/sub 7/O/sub 12/, and a test for the participation of 5f electrons in bonding in a series of uranium compounds.
