The experimental valence-band spectra are consistent with our DFT calculations. Both theory and experiment show that the Fe 3d states dominate the Fermi level and hybridize with Ca 3d states. The simple shape of x-ray photoelectron Fe 2p core level spectrum (without any satellite structure typical for correlated systems) suggests that the Fe 3d electrons are weakly or at most moderately correlated. |
