<div dir="ltr">Thanks. The postdoc is running cases (NiO supercell) which are not completed yet; there are differences but I will wait.What concerns me a little is that no matter what type of core hole one uses, the extra electron added in case.in2 will go into the minority d unless fsm is used.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 3:56 PM, Peter Blaha <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pblaha@theochem.tuwien.ac.at" target="_blank">pblaha@theochem.tuwien.ac.at</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I do not have real experience with this and I don't think there are<br>
"global" rules, but one has to consider the specific case.<br>
<br>
I guess in most cases it does not matter which spin you select for the<br>
core hole. The important thing is the coulomb potential, which is<br>
modified due to a missing electron. The exchange effect should be small.<br>
<br>
I could imagine (without real experience) that this could be important<br>
for more localized cases like in 3d or in particular 4f elements,<br>
because the 4f valence electrons are spatially in a similar region as a<br>
higher core electron and thus direct exchange effects can happen.<br>
<br>
In any case, typically XAS of localized 3d or 4f electron systems is not<br>
well described by the simple core-hole approach, since multiplet effects<br>
dominate the L2,3 or M4,5 spectra.<br>
<br>
PS: Did you really see a spin change depending on a up/dn or<br>
"non-magnetic" hole ?<br>
