23. Low-temperature Ni spectra were calculated with a 3d-4sp hybridization V=1.8eV, a 3d Coulomb interaction U=2.5eV and a 2p-3d Coulomb interaction Q=3.7eV. A 3 eV bandwidth for the 3 d9 v1 states was modeled by nine equidistant states with values of the 3d-4sp charge-transfer energy, Δ, ranging from -1.5 to 1.5 eV. C4h symmetry and a 1 eV crystal field resulted in a ground state with 15% 3 d8 v2, 51% 3 d9 v1, and 34% 3 d10 weights. Final state core-hole lifetime and experimental energy resolution were taken into account by Lorentian and Gaussian broadenings of 0.3 and 0.15 eV FWHM, respectively.

25. Note that the cluster calculations predict local magnetic moments whereas the experiment measures their value averaged over the probe volume.
