Multiplet structure of 2p and 3p photoelectron spectra from low-spin and high-spin cobalt (III) compounds

The multiplet structure of 2p and 3p photoelectron spectra from samples containing 3d 6 transition-metal ions in the low-spin and high-spin configurations has been calculated in a strong-field scheme. The 2p results are compared with experimental data for cobalt (III) oxides LaCoO 3 , SrLaCoO 4 and La 2 Li 0.5 Co 0.5 O 4 .
