Cs 3d absorption and resonant photoemission study of caesium halogenides

• The highly localized 4f electrons play an important role in forming of the electronic structure and properties of compounds. The 3d photoabsorption and resonant decay spectra of Cs halides represent an interesting case showing both the localized and spatially extended f wave function features. We present and discuss the Cs 3d X-ray absorption and resonant photoelectron emission spectra of the Cs halides. The Cs 3d absorption spectra exhibit a strong atom-like shape resonance behavior, solid-state effects play a minor role. The appearance of the spectral features, which are intrinsic to a localized state, in the decay spectra show that the Cs 3d photoelectron, temporally and spatially trapped in the Cs 3d shape resonance due to the potential barrier for epsilon f electrons near threshold, has substantially localized nature.
