[en] To unravel the interplay between the strong electronic correlation and itinerant-localized dual nature in typical f electron systems, we employed the density functional theory in combination with the single-site dynamical mean-field theory to systematically investigate the electronic structures of CeSb and USb. We find that the 4f states in CeSb are mostly localized with a weak quasi-particle resonance peak near the Fermi level. Conversely, the 5f electrons in USb display partially itinerant features, accompanied by mixed-valence behavior and prominent valence state fluctuations. Particularly, the 4f electronic correlations in CeSb are orbital-selective with strikingly renormalized 4f_5/2 states, according to the low-energy behaviors of 4f self-energy functions. It is believed that the strong electronic correlation and fantastic bonding of f states contribute to elucidating the magnetism. (paper)
