Abstract

LIII absorption spectroscopy measurements, using synchrotron radiation on the Ce1-xRxPd3, R=La3+, Y3+, Th4+, and U and the Ce1-xScxAl2 alloy systems are presented. The Ce valence variation from the LIII spectra analysis is correlated with the lattice-parameter variations in the alloys. The roles of the volume and valence of the substitutes in determining the Ce valence state are discussed. The results are discussed in terms of hybridization and current electronic theory.
