Orbital moment in CoO and in NiO

Abstract

The total, orbital and spin moment of the Co2+ ion in CoO has been calculated within the quasi-atomic approach with taking into account strong correlations, crystal-field interactions and the intra-atomic spin-orbit coupling. The orbital moment of 1.39 μB amounts at 0 K, in the magnetically-ordered state, to more than 34% of the total moment (4.01 μB). The same calculations yield for NiO the orbital and total moment of 0.46 μB and 2.45 μB, respectively.
