We present linear polarization-dependent soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy data at the Ce M-4,M-5 edges of Cd- and Sn-dopedCeCoIn(5). The(4)f ground-state wave functions have been determined for their superconducting, anti-ferromagnetic, and paramagnetic ground states. The absence of changes in the wave functions in CeCo(In1-x Cd-x)(5) suggests that the 4f-conduction-electron (cf) hybridization is not affected by global Cd doping, thus supporting the interpretation of magnetic droplets nucleating long-range magnetic order. This is contrasted by changes in the wave function due to Sn substitution. Increasing Sn in CeCo(In1-y Sn-y)(5) compresses the 4f orbitals into the tetragonal plane of these materials, suggesting enhanced cf hybridization with the in-plane In(1) atoms and a homogeneous altering of the electronic structure. As these experiments show, the 4f wave functions are a very sensitive probe of small changes in the hybridization of 4f and conduction electrons, even conveying information about direction dependencies.
