Magnetic circular dichroism in the L2,3 x-ray fluorescence of Fe and Co

چکیده
the L2,3 x-ray fluorescence spectra of magnetized Fe and CO excited by circularly polarized synchrotron radiation exhibit magnetic circular dichroism. The results are compared to the energy resolved spin polarized densities of states given by first-principles calculations.

First-principles calculation of x-ray absorption spectra and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism of ultrathin Fe films on BaTiO3(001)
First-principles calculations of x-ray absorption spectra (XAS) and the related x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) are presented for ultrathin Fe layers on a BaTiO3 (BTO) single-crystal surface within the framework of density functional theory. We have investigated the dependence of XAS and XMCD of Fe L2,3 edges as a function of Fe layer thickness (1–3 ML) and on polarization direction of...
متن کاملIron L2,3-Edge X-ray Absorption and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism Studies of Molecular Iron Complexes with Relevance to the FeMoco and FeVco Active Sites of Nitrogenase
Herein, a systematic study of a series of molecular iron model complexes has been carried out using Fe L2,3-edge X-ray absorption (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopies. This series spans iron complexes of increasing complexity, starting from ferric and ferrous tetrachlorides ([FeCl4]-/2-), to ferric and ferrous tetrathiolates ([Fe(SR)4]-/2-), to diferric and mixed-va...
متن کاملBreakdown of Hund’s third rule in amorphous Co-W nanoparticles and crystalline Co3W alloys
We present x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements performed at the Co K and W L2,3 edges, on amorphous Co-W alloy nanoparticles, and a comparison with those on a bulk Co3W alloy. A strong hybridization between the 4p and 3d orbitals in Co and the 5d band in W are observed, resulting in an induced magnetic moment in the W atoms. The...
متن کاملLocal X-ray magnetic circular dichroism study of Fe/Cu(111) using a tunneling smart tip
Localized spectroscopy with simultaneous topographic, elemental and magnetic information is presented. A synchrotron X-ray scanning tunneling microscope has been employed for the local study of the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Fe L2,3-edges of a thin iron film grown on Cu(111). Polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectra have been obtained through a tunneling smart tip that serv...
متن کاملIntrinsic deviations in fluorescence yield detected x-ray absorption spectroscopy: the case of the transition metal L2,3 edges
Fluorescence yield (FY) detected x-ray absorption spectra (XAS) of 3d transition metal ions are calculated from the integrated 2p3d resonant x-ray emission spectra. The resulting FY-XAS spectra are compared with the normal XAS spectra corresponding to the absorption cross section and significant deviations between the two spectra are found. This implies that the assumption that the FY-XAS spect...
