Magnetic circular dichroism of the S 2p, Co 2p, and Co 3p core absorption and orbital angular momentum of the Co 3d state in low-spin CoS2.

چکیده
Magnetic circular dichroism ~MCD! has been measured for ferromagnetic CoS2 in the S 2p , Co 2p and 3p core absorption regions. MCD in the S 2p region is discussed in terms of the exchange splitting of the unoccupied band. The Co 2p MCD has revealed that the orbital angular momentum of the Co 3d state remains finite in spite of its low-spin configuration. This situation is confirmed by a simple cluster model calculation.

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 کاملExploring the microscopic origin of magnetic anisotropies with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy
Symmetry breaking and bonding at interfaces leads to a variety of anisotropy phenomena in transition metal sandwiches and multilayers. The charge density, the spin density and the orbital moment become anisotropic. These e!ects can be studied by the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) technique which senses the local anisotropy of charge, spin and angular momentum around an atom that is ex...
متن کاملSpin state transition in LaCoO3 studied using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism.
Using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism at the Co-L(2,3) edge, we reveal that the spin state transition in LaCoO3 can be well described by a low-spin ground state and a triply degenerate high-spin first excited state. From the temperature dependence of the spectral line shapes, we find that LaCoO3 at finite temperatures is an inhomogeneous mixed-spin state syste...
