Abstract
We present density functional theory (DFT) calculations and soft x-ray spectra (soft x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectra) measurements of single-crystal . The experimental valence-band spectra are consistent with our DFT calculations. Both theory and experiment show that the states dominate the Fermi level and hybridize with states. The simple shape of x-ray photoelectron core level spectrum (without any satellite structure typical for correlated systems) suggests that the electrons are weakly or at most moderately correlated.
