Abstract

Ce 3d-4f resonant angle-resolved photoemission measurements on CeCoGe1.2_{1.2}Si0.8_{0.8} and CeCoSi2_{2} have been performed to understand the Fermi surface topology as a function of hybridization strength between Ce 4ff- and conduction electrons in heavy-fermion systems. We directly observe that the hole-like Ce 4ff-Fermi surfaces of CeCoSi2_{2} is smaller than that of CeCoGe1.2_{1.2}Si0.8_{0.8}, indicating the evolution of the Ce 4ff-Fermi surface with the increase of the hybridization strength. In comparision with LDA calculation, the Fermi surface variation cannot be understood even though the overall electronic structure are roughly explained, indicating the importance of strong correlation effects. We also discuss the relation between the Ce 4ff-Fermi surface variation and the Kondo peaks.
