Angle-resolved photoemission energy distributions (PEDs) were obtained from valence bands of MnF2 single crystals using AIK, radiation. A pronounced variation in the PEDs was observed as the electron take-off angle was varied relative to the crystalline axes, for the (111) crystal face. The observed variation is attributed to the f2, and e, symmetry properties of the manganese 3d initial state wavefunctions and is well described by an angle-dependent transition-matrix model. The results are in good agreement with the multi-configurational Hartree-Fock calculations of Viinikka and Bagus.
