Recently V-3s core level XPS of freshly evaporated vanadium clusters o
n graphite exhibited the appearance of a satellite structure; the spec
trum was then interpreted by the effect of surface magnetic moments on
vanadium. In this paper we extend a previous electronic structure mod
el calculation to the case of vanadium adatoms upon graphite with the
help of the Hartree-Fock approximation. The outcoming results are used
to discuss the origin of the satellite structure in V-3s core level X
PS for a V-adatom upon graphite.
