ABSTRACT

Angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to determine the electronic band dispersion of CeAg2Ge2 single crystal along the Γ-Z direction. Normal emission photoelectron spectra for photon energy from 21 eV to 35 eV were used to obtain the band mapping. Four photoemission features are observed to show the dispersion. The experimental spectra have been interpreted with the help of calculations based on full potential linear augmented plane wave method using density functional theory. The bands that show dispersion along the Γ-Z direction are mainly related to the Ce 4f states and the hybridized Ag 4d with Ge 4p states.
