Study of magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) for different thickness of Ni thin film grown on ferromagnetic Co (001) in element specific photoemission

چکیده
The magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) was used to study the magnetic properties of Ni-ultrathin film grown on ferromagnetic substrate Co(001). The MLD in photoemission has been measured for either the valence Ni3d states around the Ni3p threshold or 3p core level. Our dichroism measurements of the valence Ni3d states conclude that the resonance effect is present on MLD for ‘6 eV-satellite’ in the valence band photoemission whereas the main valence band peak shows nearly same MLD signal for the both on and off resonance. It is shown for the thinner film that the dichroism from Ni and Co3p core levels shows same sign with each other. This means that the Ni and Co are ferromagnetically coupled. 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Electron correlation and charge transfer at the NiÕCo interface
The evolving magnetism and electronic structure at the Ni/Co interface have been studied using x-ray absorption spectroscopy ~XAS! and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy ~XPS! with circularly polarized x rays. Deposition of ultrathin Ni films on thin films of Co grown on Cu~001! results in an intensity enhancement across the Co L2.3 absorption edge. By comparison, the intensity of the Ni L2.3 edg...

متن کاملAntiferromagnetic coupling of TbPc2 molecules to ultrathin Ni and Co films
The magnetic and electronic properties of single-molecule magnets are studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. We study the magnetic coupling of ultrathin Co and Ni films that are epitaxially grown onto a Cu(100) substrate, to an in situ deposited submonolayer of TbPc2 molecules. Because of the element specificity of the X-ray absorption spectroscopy we ar...

The reorientation transition of themagnetization of ferromagnetic films is studied on amicroscopic basis within aHeisenberg spinmodel. Using a modified mean field formulation it is possible to calculate properties of magnetic thin films with non–integer thicknesses. This is especially important for the reorientation transition in Ni/Cu(001), as there the magnetic properties are a sensitive func...
