LuFe2O4 is a compound showing fascinating magneto electric coupling via charge ordering. Electronic and magnetic properties of the charge ordered phase of LuFe2O4 are investigated by means of x-ray spectroscopic and theoretical electronic structure approaches [1]. We identified the electronic states of the valence band by means of valence band XPS-, and XES-spectroscopies, and GGA+U first principles calculations. Moreover, by applying XMCD, we are able to identify the spin ground state of LuFe2O4 in the charge ordered phase to be a 2:1 ferrimagnetic configuration, ruling out a frustrated magnetic state.
