summarizes the electronic properties of actinide intermetallic compounds with a special …

The 5 f spectral weight in the heavy-fermion materials U Al 2 and U Pt 3 has been measured
by electron spectroscopy, and compared to that in density-functional calculations. The one …

Abstract High-resolution (0.13 eV) photoemission measurements performed at low
temperatures (≈ 20 K) show that a sharp feature (measured width≃ 0.15 eV at full width at …

Publisher Summary The chapter presents an overview of high-energy spectroscopy of
lanthanide materials. An attempt is made to account systematically for the different aspects …

We present a detailed investigation of the electronic band structure of the heavy Fermion
compound CeNi 2 Ge 2 by means of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) …

Recent results of experimental studies on the thermodynamic and transport properties of the
heavy-fermion superconductor UPt 3 are reviewed. These studies include high-magnetic …

We present a discussion of the present state of experimental and theoretical investigations
