Combining photoemission and optical spectroscopies for reliable valence determination in YbS and Yb metal
M. Matsunami, A. Chainani, M. Taguchi +13
Hard x-ray photoemission and optical spectroscopies have been performed on YbS and Yb metal to determine the precise -electron occupation. A comparison of the photoemission spec…
Infrared study of valence transition compound YbInCu4 using cleaved surfaces
H. Okamura, T. Michizawa, T. Nanba +1
Optical reflectivity R(w) of YbInCu4 single crystals has been measured across its first-order valence transition at T_v ~ 42 K, using both polished and cleaved surfaces. R(w) measu…

H. Okamura, T. Michizawa, T. Nanba +3
Optical conductivity [] of the Kondo semiconductor YbB has been measured over wide ranges of temperature (=8690 K) and photon energy ( 1.3 meV). The…
Metal-insulator transition in PrRuP and SmRuP investigated by optical spectroscopy
M. Matsunami, L. Chen, M. Takimoto +4
Electronic structures of the filled-skutterudite compounds PrRuP and SmRuP, which undergo a metal-insulator transition (MIT) at = 60 K and 16 K,…
Carrier-Induced Magnetic Circular Dichloism in the Magnetoresistive Pyrochlore Tl2Mn2O7
H. Okamura, T. Koretsune, S. Kimura +4
Infrared magnetic circular dichloism (MCD), or equivalently magneto-optical Kerr effect, has been measured on the Tl2Mn2O7 pyrochlore, which is well known for exhibiting a large ma…
