Optical evidence of 4f-band formation in CeN

• We report ab initio calculations of the ground state and optical properties of CeN, which show that the 4f electrons in CeN are itinerant and that the intra-atomic 4f-Coulomb interaction is largely screened. A coherent 4f band of width similar to 2 eV is
