Abstract

Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant ARPES, we report evidence of strong anisotropic conduction-f electron mixing (c-f mixing) in CeBi by observing a largely expanded Ce 5d pocket at low temperature, with no change in the Bi 6p bands. The anisotropic Fermi surface (FS) expansion is accompanied by a pronounced spectral weight transfer from the local 4f(0) peak of Ce (corresponding to Ce3+) to the itinerant conduction bands near the Fermi level. Careful analysis suggests that the observed large FS change (with a volume expansion of the electron pocket up to 40%) can most naturally be explained by a small valence change (similar to 1%) of Ce, which coexists with a very weak Kondo screening. Our work therefore provides evidence for a FS change driven by real charge fluctuations deep in the Kondo limit, which is highly dependent on the orbital character and momentum and is made possible by the low carrier density.
