Abstract:
High resolution Compton profiles have been measured in the single crystal of CeRu(2)Si(2) above and below the Kondo temperature to elucidate the change of the Ce-4f electron from localized to itinerant states. Two-dimensional electron occupation number densities projected on the first Brillouin zone, which are obtained after a series of analyses, clearly specify the difference between itinerant and localized states. The contribution of Ce-4f electrons to the electronic structure is discussed by contrast with a band calculation.
