Intricacies of the Co${}^{3+}$ spin state in Sr${}_2$Co${}_{0.5}$Ir${}_{0.5}$O${}_4$: an x-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism study

S. Agrestini, C. -Y. Kuo, D. Mikhailova +8

We report on a combined soft x-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) study at the Co-$L_{3,2}$ on the hybrid 3$d$/5$d$ solid state oxide Sr${}_2$Co${}_{0.5}$Ir${}_{0.5}$O…
