Theoretical spectra were obtained from the electric-dipole allowed transitions between the ground state 3 dn and the final state 2 p5 3 dn+1 in the presence of an effective exchange field g μB H=-0.1 eV. The ground and final state wave functions were calculated in intermediate coupling using Cowan's Hartree-Fock code with relativistic correction. The results were broadened by a Lorentzian line shape increasing from =0.1 to 0.15 eV for the L3 structure and =0.3 to 0.35 eV for the L2 structure to account for the intrinsic linewidth and a Gaussian of =0.2 eV for the instrumental broadening. We used 10Dq=1.6 eV giving a total symmetric ground state A6 1. Covalency was included by reducing the Hartree-Fock values of the 3d-3d Coulomb interaction to 60%, while the Slater integrals for the 2p-3d interaction were scaled to 80%.
