Electronic structure of single crystal UPd3, UGe2, and USb2 from hard X-ray and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy

► Electronic structure of single crystal UPd3, UGe2, and USb2 was measured by hard X-ray and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. ► Angle resolved photoemission results demonstrate hybridization between U 5f and Pd 4d electrons within UPd3. ► HAXPES probing of bulk features within of UPd3, UGe2, and USb2 samples with native oxide contamination demonstrated. ► Two distinct spectral features identified for Sb I and Sb II sites within USb2 HAXPES spectrum. ► Line shape analysis reveals correlations between Doniach-Sunjic asymmetry coefficients and 5f localization.
