Abstract

Experimental densities of states of USi3 and UIr3 obtained by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS) are compared to fully relativistic self-consistent band-structure calculations. Very good agreement is found for USi3, whereas the unoccupied states of UIr3 exhibit a satellite which cannot be explained by the one-particle calculation. The satellite in BIS of UIr3 is attributed to a quasiparticle bound state, and is qualitatively reproduced by a Hubbard model including Coulomb correlation within the narrow 5f band. The importance of our findings with reference to the magnetic properties of U intermetallics as well as pure U metal is discussed.
