Title: Bulk electronic structure of non-centrosymmetric EuTGe3 (T=Co, Ni, Rh, Ir) studied by hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Abstract

Non-centrosymmetric EuTGe3 ( T = Co, Ni, Rh, and Ir) possesses magnetic Eu2+ ions, and antiferromagnetic ordering appears at low temperatures. Transition-metal substitution leads to changes in the unit-cell volume and in the magnetic ordering. However, the magnetic ordering temperature does not scale with the volume change, and the Eu valence is expected to remain divalent. Here we study the bulk electronic structure of non-centrosymmetric Eu T Ge3 ( T = Co, Ni, Rh, and Ir) by hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Eu 3d core-level spectrum confirms the robust Eu2+ valence state against the transition-metal substitution with a small contribution from Eu3+ . The estimated Eu mean valence is around 2.1 in these compounds, as confirmed by multiplet calculations. In contrast, the Ge 2p spectrum shifts to higher binding energy upon cha nging the transition metal from 3d to 4d to 5d elements, hinting at a change in the Ge- T bonding strength. The valence bands of the different compounds are found to be well reproduced by ab initio band structure calculations.

The arrowsmore » indicate the position of Eu3+ components. The simulated Eu2+ spectrum (dark blue line) and its plasmon satellites (light blue line) for EuCoGe3 are shown in the bottom of the figure as an example. The difference (purple line) spectrum obtained by subtracting the simulated spectrum from the experimental one reveals the Eu3+ components (purple area).« less
