Abstract
We studied the relation between the electronic structure and the physical properties of (, Co). The main technique used in the study was Fe , Co , and O x-ray-absorption spectroscopy. The experimental spectra were analyzed in terms of cluster model and band-structure calculations. The analysis of the spectra shows that both and are in the negative-charge-transfer regime (this means that their ground states are highly covalent and contain considerable O hole character). The Fe ions are in a high-spin state and the Co ions in an intermediate-spin state stabilized by strong hybridization. The electronic structure helps to explain the trends in the electrical conductivity and the observed magnetic moments. Further, the relatively large O hole weight in the ground state explains also the absence of Jahn-Teller distortions. illustrates ferromagnetism and magnetoresistance in a two-dimensional negative-charge-transfer material.
