The 2p photoemission of the 3d transition metals manganese and chromium has been studied using synchrotron radiation and Hartree-Fock calculations including correlation effects and relativistic corrections.
Multiplet splitting and valence shell re-coupling in the core excited state give rise to numerous main and satellite lines. The theoretical spectra shows excellent agreement with the experimental data and recent theoretical calculations using the MCDF method by Bagus et al. [1] for MnO. The atomic photoelectron spectra of the metals exhibit the same structure as the compounds and thin films and present the importance of intra-atomic effects on the electronic structure of solid state systems. Furthermore it can be shown by comparing the atomic and ionic photoelectron spectra, that the 4s electrons in manganese and chromium have a neglectable effect on the electronic structure of the atoms and condensed systems.
