Abstract

Pressure and temperature dependence of the electronic structure of superconducting (SC) CeFeAsO1−y and non-SC CeFeAsO1−y have been investigated using two complementary hard x-ray spectroscopic probes at the Ce L3 edge, partial fluorescence yield x-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy. With increasing pressure, the ratio between the intensity of the peak related to the f0 (Ce4+) state and that of the f1 (Ce3+) state, I(f0)/I(f1), is found to increase continuously for both compounds, indicating a continuous increase in the Ce valence. The valence of non-SC CeFeAsO1−y is found to be slightly higher than that of SC CeFeAsO1−y in the entire pressure and temperature ranges of this study. The valence of CeFeAsO1−y around 6 GPa, where the superconductivity breaks down, is estimated to be ∼3.0, but no change in the valence is observed upon cooling. The dependence of the interatomic distances on the concentration of oxygen vacancies is studied via extended absorption fine structure spectroscopy.
