Abstract
The electronic ground state, core-hole states, and valence-hole states of Ce are studied taking into account strong correlation among the electrons. The ground state is considered as a mixture of two configurations, and spin-singlet totally symmetric -hole states. By an analysis of the core-level photoemission spectrum, the occupancy is obtained to be about 0.6. The possibility of this mixed-valence mechanism in metallic mixed-valent systems and is also discussed.
