Abstract
The dispersion of the Gd (5d6s)-valence bands has been investigated by mean s of spin- and angle-resolved photoemission. The spin analysis of various s pectral features shows that their weak dispersion and unusual broadening is due to the photoelectron lifetime rather than to correlation induced band narrowing as previously proposed. These results resolve a long-standing dis crepancy between theoretical and experimental descriptions of the rare eart h band structure.
