Abstract

Photoemission measurements on the magnetic semiconductors EuO, EuS, and EuSe show emission from 4f7 states which lie in the gap above the top of ∼2- to 3-eV-wide valence bands. These measurements, together with optical data, indicate semiconductor energy gaps of 4.3, 3.1, and 3.1 eV for EuO, EuS, and EuSe (all ±0.4 eV). Metallic GdS shows a narrow occupied conduction band at the Fermi level, in addition to a filled valence band and 4f7 state. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
