Abstract
A number of new peaks close to the previously predicted energies of virtual electronic states [S.G. Ovchinnikov and V.N. Zabluda, Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 125, 150 (2004) [JETP 98, 135 (2004)]] have been observed in the absorption spectra of FeBO3 single crystals in the infrared range. The 0.27-eV peak was absent in the scheme presented in the work cited above and, to explain it, a multielectron theory taking into account the 2 T 2 low-spin term of the Fe3+ ion has been developed.
