Investigation of the spin state of Co in LaCoO3 at room temperature: Ab initio calculations and high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy of single crystals

We investigate the spin state of LaCo O3 using state-of-the-art photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio band structure calculations. The GGA+U calculations provide a good description of the ground state for the experimentally estimated value of electron correlation strength U. In addition to the co...
