dc.descriptionPre-edge features in X-ray absorption spectroscopy contain key information about the lowest excited states and thus on the most interesting physical properties of the system. In transition metal oxides they are particularly structured but extracting physical parameters by comparison with a calculation is not easy due to several computational challenges. By combining core-hole attraction and correlation effects in first principles approach, we calculate Ni K-edge X-ray absorption spectra in NiO. We obtain a striking, parameter-free agreement with experimental data and show that dipolar pre-edge features above the correlation gap are due to non-local excitations largely unaffected by the core-hole. We show that in charge transfer insulators, this property can be used to measure the correlation gap and probe the intrinsic position of the upper-Hubbard band.
