The Complex Core Level Spectra of CeO2: An Analysis in Terms of Atomic and Charge Transfer Effects

Journal Article · · Chemical Physics Letters

We present a rigorous parameter-free theoretical treatment of the Ce 4s and 5s photoelectron spectra of CeO2. In the currently accepted model the satellite structure in the photoelectron spectra is explained in terms of a mixed valence (Ce 4f0 O 2p6, Ce 4f1 O 2p5, and Ce 4f2 O 2p4) configurations. We show that charge transfer (CT) into Ce 5d as well as configurations involving intra-atomic movement of charge must be considered in addition and compute their contributions to the spectra.
