Abstract
X-ray emission and absorption spectra of \ensuremath{\alpha}-${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ have been arranged on a common binding-energy scale and compared with results of multiplet theory and cluster calculations. In the case of the Fe L\ensuremath{\alpha} emission and the Fe K absorption, the information content of x-ray spectroscopy has been further increased by measuring and analyzing linearly polarized spectra. The results of the x-ray spectroscopic investigations and their comparison with the theory complement the findings of other types of high-energy spectroscopy and seems to provide good support for the validity of certain cluster theories. Especially, x-ray spectra reflect the strong influence of correlation and charge-transfer effects on the electronic structure of \ensuremath{\alpha}-${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ and support the suggestion that this compound should belong to the class of charge-transfer insulators.
