Electron Transport Properties of Eu(Cu1 − xAgx)2Si2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1): Initiation of Transition Eu2+ ↔ Eu2.41+ in the Intermediate Valence State

Figure 5

The effective valence of Eu ion (probability p3+ presence in Eu3+ state) depending on the excitation energy, for different temperatures, is calculated in the frame of the ionic model of interconfigurational fluctuations [11].
