Abstract

In this paper electronic structure of Fe- based superconductor SmO1-xFxFeAs (x = 0.2) has been studied using polarized X-ray absorption spectroscopy measured at ELLETRA synchrotron Trieste, Italy. The XAFS spectra for Sm M4,5 , Fe L2,3 and O K- edge has been analyzed and the results are explained to show the possible hybridization responsible for superconductivity in these compounds, which may be assumed due to a charge transfer from Sm-O layer to the Fe-As layer as a result of fluorine doping.
