Title: Electronic structure and 4$$f$$-electron character in Ce2PdIn8 studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

Abstract

The localized-to-itinerant transition of $$f$$ electrons lies at the heart of heavy-fermion physics, but has only been directly observed in single-layer Ce-based materials. Here, we report a comprehensive study on the electronic structure and nature of the Ce 4$$f$$ electrons in the heavy-fermion superconductor Ce2PdIn8, a typical n = 2 CenMmIn3n+2m compound, using high-resolution and 4$$d$$–4$$f$$ resonant photoemission spectroscopies. The electronic structure of this material has been studied over a wide temperature range, and hybridization between f and conduction electrons can be clearly observed to form a Kondo resonance near the Fermi level at low temperatures. Here, the characteristic temperature of the localized-to-itinerant transition is around 120 K, which is much higher than its coherence temperature Tcoh ~ 30K.
