A review is presented of the recent development in theoretical studies of X-ray
photoemission spectra (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) for rare-earth …

We analyze rare-earth 3d-core x-ray-absorption spectra (3d XAS) in PrO 2, as well as in
CeO 2, using the impurity Anderson model. It is shown that the interplay between the atomic …

The effect of valence mixing on multiplet structure in the Ce 4 d x-ray absorption spectra for
Ce Rh 3 and Ce O 2 is discussed on the basis of a simplified impurity Anderson model …

The XPS of many oxides are quite complex and there may be several peaks of significant
intensity for each subshell. These peaks arise from many‐electron effects, which normally …

A variety of rare-earth (RE) compounds (oxides, sulfates and oxalates) have been studied by
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Except for Eu, the binding energies (BE's) of the RE 3d …

Reflectivity spectra of nine rare-earth sesquioxide (R 2 O 3; R= La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Er, Tm,
Yb and Lu) single crystals have been measured in the photon energy range from 0.5 to 50 …

Differences in photoelectric transition probabilities have an important effect on the
interpretation of x-ray photoemission spectra of transition-metal compounds with …

A complete EXAFS analysis of the ZrO 2 Y 2 O 3 system has been performed at both the
yttrium and zirconium K absorption edges. The main result of this work is that the first …

We studied the electronic structures of rare-earth sesqui-oxides R2O3 (R: rare-earth
element) with a core hole, both experimentally and theoretically. The experimental study …

The L III absorption edges of fluorite-structure-related CeO 2, PrO 2, and TbO 2 show four
well-resolved spectral features. The systematic trend in their positions and relative …
