Magnetic structure of actinide metals
G. van der Laan, K. T. Moore
In comparison to 3d or 4f metals, magnetism in actinides remains poorly understood due to experimental complications and the exotic behavior of the 5f states. In particular, pluton…
Determination of the single-ion anisotropy energy in a S = 5/2 kagome antiferromagnet using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
M. A. de Vries, T. K. Johal, A. Mirone +5
We report x-ray absorption and x-ray linear dichroism measurements at the Fe L2,3 edges of the geometrically frustrated systems of potassium and hydronium iron jarosite. Comparison…
Nature of the 5f states in actinide metals
Kevin T. Moore, Gerrit van der Laan
Actinide elements produce a plethora of interesting physical behaviors due to the 5f states. This review compiles and analyzes progress in understanding of the electronic and magne…
Strain dependence of the Mn anisotropy in ferromagnetic semiconductors observed by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism
K. W. Edmonds, G. van der Laan, N. R. S. Farley +4
We demonstrate sensitivity of the Mn 3d valence states to strain in the ferromagnetic semiconductors (Ga,Mn)As and (Al,Ga,Mn)As, using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The…
Valence band orbital polarization in III-V ferromagnetic semiconductors
A. A. Freeman, K. W. Edmonds, G. van der Laan +8
The element-specific technique of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is used to directly determine the magnitude and character of the valence band orbital magnetic moments in…
