In rare-earth intermetallics, interaction between localized 4f electrons and itinerant electrons can result in exotic states of matter. Here, the authors use photoemission spectroscopy to reveal and study this interaction in the bulk and at the surface of the Kondo lattice antiferromagnet CeRh2Si2.
