Photoemission in YbCu2Si2: problems with the Kondo impurity model
Abstract
We report valence band photoemission results for YbCu2Si2, The 4f13(J = 7 2) final state peak, centered 60 meV below the Fermi level ε{lunate}F, lacks the temperature dependence and is broader than predicted for a Kondo resonance. Together with recent photoemission results for cerium compounds, these results raise serious doubts about the Kondo impurity explanation of heavy fermion photoemission. © 1992.
