19. In order to allow for the presence of other multiplet features, we have also fit our Mn3s spectra with four Voigt components, in order to include low-binding-energy satellites on both exchange-split peaks. However, the satellite associated with peak 1 could not be reliably determined, and even if its position relative to peak 1 was fixed at the same separation as between peaks 2 and 3, it was found to be very broad and very weak in intensity. We have therefore preferred to consider for the fit in Fig. 2 just the lowest binding energy satellite, which was clearly visible because of its higher intensity and a position on the tail of just one of the two main peaks.

41. It should be noted that this statement refers to an intensity increase in a 1 eV region below the Fermi level, which reflects an increase in the matrix-element-weighted density of states. In view of our overall energy resolution of 400 meV, and further broadening over the Fermi level at higher temperatures of 200 meV due to the Fermi function, we cannot draw any conclusions about what happens at the Fermi level and therefore about the transport phenomena, for which higher energy and momentum resolution would be necessary.
