50. 4 spectrum.
51. + fraction is eliminated in the evaluation process anyway, the interpretation given below for the spin states and the corresponding exchange mechanism remains unaffected.
52. In this scenario, the oxygen deficiency in the surface layers is supposed to reduce the valence of some Co ions from + 4 to + 3.

58. 2 edges illustrated above already indicate that the IS configurations cannot be a significant species in the systems under study here.
59. 2 g orbitals are displayed at the same energy level. In principle, these states are split by (i) the (noncubic) crystal field and (ii) the (Hund's rule) exchange interaction.
