Calculated photoemission spectra of the 5f states in the actinides

Abstract

The complex multiplet structure of the partially filled 5f shell in the actinides is calculated in intermediate coupling. The eigenfunctions obtained are used for a calculation of photoemission intensities in the fractional parentage scheme including all final states. The calculated spectra are significantly different from the equivalent results for the 4f states in the rare-earth metals presented recently.
