Abstract
We have measured Ce 3d resonant photoemission spectra of CeNiSn and CePdSn with high resolution of E/ΔE to approximately 4000. Although the Ce valences are close to 3+ for both compounds, the Ce 3d resonant spectra show stronger f1 final states near the Fermi level compared with Ce 4d resonant spectra. Calculations based on the single impurity model give consistent spectral functions to the experimental results. The valence band states except for the Ce 4f states in the bulk are essentially the same as those in the surface and consistent with the result of a band-structure calculation.
