Abstract
The electronic structure of high-spin ${\mathrm{CrBr}}_{3}$ has been investigated by using x-ray photoelectron and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Valence-band and $\mathrm{Cr}2p$ core-level spectra have revealed satellite structures on the high-binding energy side of the main emission line around 7.7 and 11 eV, respectively. The weak satellite structure observed in the valence-band spectrum can be explained by a charge transfer mechanism, if the p-d hybridization is sufficiently large. Nevertheless, for the interpretation of the $\mathrm{Cr}2p$ satellite structure (\ensuremath{\cong}11 eV), competition between the charge transfer and the exciton models needs to be considered.
