Using magnetic ultrathin films (2--4 monolayers) of Fe on Cu(001) and bulklike Fe, the Fe 3[ital p] and Fe 3[ital s] core states have been investigated with resonant photoemission and core-level photoemission, including magnetic x-ray circular dichroism (MXCD) experiments. The resonant photoemission experiment has been done, to probe the parentage of various spectral structures. All the observations can be explained as simply due to the presence of Auger features: It is not necessary to invoke configuration interaction combined with strong photoemission resonance.
