Abstract
We have performed photoemission (PE) spectroscopy of and to study intercalation-induced change in the electronic structure. The valence band PE spectrum of shows a small intensity region within of with a very small hump at that can be ascribed to hydrogen impurity states. These provide spectroscopic evidence that is an -type semiconductor. Upon Na intercalation, new states possibly involving hybridized and systematically evolve at , with a negligible shift in the valence band structures. Similar results in and indicate that these results represent common electronic features of the layered nitride chloride superconductors.
