The electronic structures of intermetallic rare earth compounds of different compositions: RMn2Ge2 (R = Nd, Sm), R3Mn4Sn4 (R = La, Ce, Nd), Ce3Ag4X4 (X = Ge, Sn), and Ce2MnGe6, have been investigated. XPS measurements were performed using a commercial LHS10 spectrometer. The valence band and core-level states have been analysed. In Mn compounds, the Mn 3d state forms a broad band near the Fermi level. The analysis of XPS spectra using the Gunnarsson-Schönhammer model gives the coupling parameters (hybridisation energy) between the R 4f states and electrons of the conduction band
X-ray and neutron diffraction as well as magnetic measurements have been performed on CeLiGe2 compound. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic CaLiSi2 structure type (Pnma space group). Crystal structure parameters have been refined on the basis of the X-ray data at 293 K and neutron diffraction data at 20 and 1.5 K. Below Tc=9.8(2) K Ce-magnetic moment equal 2.32(6) μB and form ferromagnetic structure with the moments parallel to the b-axis.
