Abstract

We report ultrahigh-resolution (ΔE = 8 meV) photoemission spectroscopy on CeB6 to study the electronic structure and the crystal-field splitting. The photoemission spectrum of CeB6 near EF shows two prominent structures; a broad one near EF and a relatively sharp peak at 280 meV. The former is ascribed to the `Kondo resonance peak' at EF while the latter being from the spin-orbit satellite (Ce 4f7/2). In the broad structure near EF, we clearly observed an additional small structure around 60 meV from EF. Numerical simulations based on the single-impurity Anderson model with non-crossing approximation show that this satellite is due to the crystal-field splitting (Γ87) of the Ce 4f5/2 state.
