Abstract
The x-ray line shift method has been used to study the electronic stat e of Ce (the 4f population) and of its 4d and 5d partners in the CeM2 Laves phases (M=Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Ph, Os, Pt, Mg, Al). It is shown that the valence of Ce in CeM2 decreases monotonically from the limiting va lue m approximate to 3.35 to m approximate to 3 with decreasing intrac rystalline compression of Ce atoms. The population of the outer 4d and 5d orbitals of Ru, Ph, and Os in the Laves phases has been found to b e larger than that in metals. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S1063-7834(98)00208-1].
