(a), (d) and (g), (l) show the band structures along the different directions in reciprocal space, probed using 638 eV photons with p(s)-polarization, respectively. LDA band structures are shown for a non-magnetic BCC unit cell (b, e, h, m) and an AF SC cell (c, f, i, n), decomposed according to the corresponding symmetry. o shows a zoom of the ARPES data from (a), combined with the band structure of (c), to highlight the gaps present along the Γ-H direction. For the AF case, an LDA+U computation was performed, with U = 0.08 eV, chosen so that the atomic magnetic moment was M 0.6 μB. The bands are unfolded onto the BCC cell to emulate the experimental ARPES intensities, and a rigid shift of +0.2 eV was adopted. The experimental data in (a, d, g, l) are reported using a square-root color scale, in (o), a linear color scale has been adopted instead.
