Character of the valence band states in the Kondo surface alloys CeAgx/Ag(111) and CePt5/Pt(111) — •Holger Schwab1,2, Mattia Mulazzi1,2, Kenya Shimada3, and Friedrich Reinert1,21Physikalisches Institut, Experimentelle Physik VII und Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen Research Center for Complex Material Systems (RCCM), Universität Würzburg, D-97074 Würzburg — 2Gemeinschaftslabor für Nanoanalytik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie KIT, D-76021 Karlsruhe — 3Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center, Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima 739-0046, Japan

Recently we have shown the transition from the single impurity to the Kondo lattice regime in the surface alloy CePt5. [1] Now we have prepared a new Ce based surface alloy: CeAgx. The electronic and crystal structures of both materials have been investigated by means of low-energy electron diffraction and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). With resonant PES near the 4d-4f absorption edge we were able to infer the weight of the 4f-electron spectral function with respect to single-particle density of states. While the typical Kondo features at the Fermi energy (Kondo resonance and spin orbit partner) in the CePt5 surface alloy are observed, CeAgx shows a different behaviour. By comparing our experiments to model calculations [2,3], we were able to estimate the Kondo temperature in the two systems and investigate parameters contributing to the hybridisation.
