H. Maruyama et al., COMPARISON OF PT 5D-MAGNETIC STATES BETWEEN THIN-FILM AND BULK OF M-PT (M = MN AND CO) COMPOUNDS BY MAGNETIC CIRCULAR-DICHROISM, Journal of electron spectroscopy and related phenomena, 92(1-3), 1998, pp. 35-39
We have recorded X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at Pt L-2,L-3-edges
in thin-film and bulk samples of MnPt3 or CoPt intermetallic compound
. To compare magnetic properties of Pt atom, orbital and spin magnetic
moments were separately evaluated through the magneto-optical sum rul
es; as a result, the orbital contribution to the magnetic property is
almost same in both thin-film and bulk samples. Hence, a large magneto
-optical effect is not directly connected with magnitude of orbital mo
ment. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
