| Abstract |
We investigate the temperature evolution of the electronic structure of ferromagnetic CaB6 using ultrahigh resolution photoemission spectroscopy; the electronic structure of paramagnetic LaB6 is used as a reference. High resolution spectra of CaB6 reveal a finite density of states at the Fermi level E(F) at all the temperatures and evidence of impurity induced localized features in the vicinity of E(F), which are absent in the spectra of LaB6. Analysis of the high resolution spectra suggests that disorder in the B sublattice inducing partial localization in the mobile electrons and low electron density at E(F) is important to achieve ferromagnetism in these systems. |
