Abstract

Ce2CoSi3 is a Kondo lattice compound possessing non-magnetic ground state and Ce2RhSi3 exhibits antiferromagnetic ordering below 7 K. A substitution of Co at Rh sites leads the system to evolve from magnetically ordered phase to a non-magnetic phase due to Kondo effect via quantum critical point (QCP). Here, we review the electronic structure of these two compounds studied using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. The valence band spectra of Ce2CoSi3 exhibit distinct Kondo resonance features as expected. Interestingly, the high resolution spectra of Ce2RhSi3 also reveal similar features, which are sensitive to temperature. The linewidth of the core level spectra are found to be influenced by the Kondo effect. All these results indicate the persistence of Kondo compensation below QCP (Kondo temperature, TK ≠ 0 at QCP).
