Direct evidence of the orbital contribution to the magnetic moment in AA'FeReO6 double perovskites

M. Sikora, D. Zajac, C. Kapusta +7

Spin and orbital magnetic moments of Re in AA'FeReO6 double perovskites (A,A' = Ba, Sr, Ca) have been directly probed employing XMCD spectroscopy at the Re L2,3-edges. A considerab…
