Electronic structures modification of polycrystalline LuFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} across 3 dimensional to 2 dimensional charge ordering (CO) has been studied by resonance photoemission spectroscopy. Constant-initial-state spectra measured across 3p → 3d resonance energy indicate its charge transfer insulating behavior. Valance band spectra study shows states lying closer to the Fermi level are due to Fe{sup 2+} ions. As the temperature is varied from 3D to 2D CO state, a weight transfer of DOS from low binding energy to higher binding energy is observed which is attributed to the modification in the Fe-O hybridized states.
