Abstract
The core levels and the valence-band region of CeN have been studied by x-ray photoemission. Clear evidence is found that Ce has a mixed valence between 3 and 4 in this compound. A comparison of the spectra of the Ce pnictides and of pure Ce at different temperatures leads to the conclusion that the phase of this metal corresponds very likely to an intermediate valence.
