Abstract: Resonant photoemission spectra of the O 2p-derived valence band of insulating ThO2 are compared to linear muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) density-of-state (DOS) and XPS intensity calculations. At Th 5d corelevel threshold energies (85 [les] hv [les] 120 eV), resonance is greatest at the bottom of the O 2p band where calculated p/d hybrid states are greatest; p/f hybrid content is weak by comparison. We conclude that the dominant hybridization is between O 2p states and Th 6d.
