Abstract
We performed temperature-dependent bulk-sensitive resonant photoemission spectroscopy and Ce M4,5 X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of CeSi2. The XAS data clearly show the increase of the f-level occupancy number nf as the temperature is raised, which is consistent with the non-crossing approximation calculation in the Kondo scenario. In addition, the bulk-sensitive resonant photoemission of the 4f spectral weights shows that the height of the Kondo resonance at the Fermi level relative to that of the f1 →f 0 emission peak is reduced as the temperature is raised. The Gunnarsson-Schönhammer calculation fit gives generally good agreement with the valence band spectra, and the nf values derived from the fit shows the same temperature dependence as predicted by the Kondo scenario.
