K. Ogasawara et al., Relativistic cluster calculation of ligand-field multiplet effects on cation L-2,L-3 x-ray-absorption edges of SrTiO3, NiO, and CaF2 - art. no. 115413, PHYS REV B, 6411(11), 2001, pp. 5413
A totally nonempirical relativistic cluster calculation of transition-metal
L-2,L-3-edge x-ray-absorption near-edge structure including configuration
interaction has been performed. A remarkable predictive power of this calcu
lation has been demonstrated for three contrasting materials with different
d-electron numbers and different coordination numbers (SrTiO3, NiO, and Ca
F2) by excellent reproduction of both the absolute peak energies and their
relative intensities without any empirical parameters.
