There is an ongoing controversy whether a sharp peak close to the Fermi level EF which appears in scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements on the Cr(001) surface is related to a dz2-like surface state [1] or to an orbital Kondo resonance [2]. A recent variable-temperature STS study was not able to bring about a decision which of the two interpretations is correct [3]. We have performed photoemission and inverse photoemission measurements on the Cr(001) surface to reveal the nature of the electronic states just below and above EF. Surface- and bulk-like contributions are identified by their sensitivity to adsorbates. In agreement with previous STS data, we found a surface sensitive feature in our IPE measurements just above EF. The results are dicussed in terms of their compatibility to the surface state and Kondo resonance model.
