Abstract: | Photoelectron spectra of 4d and valence states in RVO4 (R = Y, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Yb) have been investigated. The experimental spectra are interpreted using the results of the Xα discrete variational method calculations for orthovanadates. Transformations of electronic structure and covalency in the RVO4 series are discussed. It is shown that lanthanide 4f orbitals significantly mix with the O 2pAO's and hybridize with the rare-earths 5pAO's. The 5p levels spin-orbital splitting in orthovanadates has been evaluated. |
