متن کاملSpin and orbital magnetic moments of Fe3O4.
We present measurements of the spin and orbital magnetic moments of Fe3O4 by using SQUID and magnetic circular dichroism in soft x-ray absorption. The measurements show that Fe3O4 has a noninteger spin moment, in contrast to its predicted half-metallic feature. Fe3O4 also exhibits a large unquenched orbital moment. Calculations using the local density approximation including the Hubbard U metho...
متن کاملXMCD Study of Epitaxial Magnetite Ultrathin Film on MgO ( 100 )
The spin and orbital magnetic moments of the Fe3O4 epitaxial ultrathin film synthesized by plasma assisted simultaneous oxidization on MgO(100) have been studied with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The ultrathin film retains a rather large total magnetic moment, i.e. (2.73±0.15)μB/f.u., which is ~ 70% of that for the bulk-like Fe3O4. A significant unquenched orbital moment up to (0.5...
متن کاملFirst-principles investigations of the orbital magnetic moments in CrO2
The electronic and magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic half-metal CrO2 have been studied by using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method within the local-spin-density approximation ~LSDA! and the LSDA1U approach. The orbital magnetic moments are investigated by including the spin-orbit coupling in both schemes. Compared with the orbital contributions to magnetization in other ...
متن کاملBeyond the Heisenberg model: anisotropic exchange interaction between a Cu-tetraazaporphyrin monolayer and Fe3O4(100).
The exchange coupling of a single spin localized at the central ion of Cu-tetraazaporphyrin on a magnetite(100) surface has been studied using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). Sum rule analysis of the XMCD spectra results in Cu spin and orbital magnetic moments as a function of the applied external field at low temperatures (20 K). The exchange coupling is positive for magnetization di...
