Electronic structure, chemical bonding and X-ray photoelectron spectra of heavy rare-earth oxides

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The electronic structure of the heavy RE sesquioxides from Sm2O3 to Lu2O3 has been studied by the cluster discrete variational Xα method and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The interpretation of XPS spectra basing on the MO model is given. An analysis of the dependence of Ln 4f orbitals contribution to chemical bonding on the lanthanide atomic number and bond lengths is made.
