Electronic structure of YbFe4Al8 antiferromagnet: A combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles study

نویسندگان

چکیده

Depending on their chemical composition, Yb compounds often exhibit different valence states. Here we investigate the state of YbFe4Al8 using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and first-principles calculations. The XPS band consists two contributions coming from divalent (Yb2+) trivalent (Yb3+) configurations. determined value at room temperature is 2.81. Divalent are also observed for core-level 4d spectra. We study several collinear antiferromagnetic models comparison consider LuFe4Al8 with a fully filled 4f shell. predict that only Fe sublattices carry significant magnetic moments most stable configuration AFM-C antiparallel columns moments. present Mulliken electronic population analysis describing charge transfer both within between atoms. In addition, effect intra-atomic Coulomb U repulsion term applied orbitals

X - Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Silicate Glasses

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful technique capable of providing unique information about the structural chemistry of glasses. However, inappropriate procedures for the preparation of sample surfaces or the lack of reliable methods to overcome electrostatic charging effects during analysis of dielectric materials can cause spurious features to be introduced or intrinsic featu...
