Abstract

We investigate the electronic structure of a one-dimensional spin-1 system, $Y_2BaNiO_5$ , and hole-doped $Y_{2-x}Ca_xBaNiO_5$ for x = 0.2 and 0.4, employing photoemission and inverse photoemission spectroscopies. $Y_2BaNiO_5$ has a charge excitation gap of about 2.3 eV. Hole doping via Ca substitution in this system introduces new localized states within this gap. The existence of a finite gap (\sim0.6 eV), even in doped compounds with a variable-range-hopping transport, indicates the importance of correlation effects and disorder in determining the electronic structure in this system.
