Interpretation of polarized Cu K x-ray absorption near-edge-structure spectra of CuO

Polarized Cu K-edge spectra of CuO are calculated by different methods and compared to experiment. Theoretical spectra were obtained via an all-electron full-potential band-structure calculation based on a pseudopotential technique and by a real-space multiple-scattering method involving a self-consistent muffin-tin potential. Self-consistency in the scattering potential is necessary to describe the low-energy part of the bold varepsilonparallelz partial spectral component. The low-energy shoulder in the bold varepsilonparallelx component observed in the experiment cannot be explained within a one-electron picture and thus apparently has a many-body origin. However, its particular mechanism will be different from the shake-down process suggested for explaining a similar feature in copper-chlorine compounds.
