Description:

(abstract)

The electronic and crystal structures of YbCuxGa2-x were investigated by high-resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Yb-L3 absorption edge and X-ray diffraction under pressure. A rapid valence transition was found in YbCu0.5Ga1.5 around 5 GPa. For YbCuGa Nd YbCu1.5Ga0.5, the Yb valence increases gradually. Photoelectron spectroscopy was also performed around Yb 4d-4f resonance energy and at 8.4 eV.
