Direct Observation of High-Spin States in Manganese Dimer and Trimer Cations by X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy in an Ion Trap

Vicente Zamudio-Bayer, Konstantin Hirsch, Andreas Langenberg +5

The electronic structure and magnetic moments of free Mn${}_2^{+}$ and Mn${}_3^{+}$ are characterized by $2p$ x-ray absorption and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy in a cryog…
