Abstract Mn-based alloys exhibit unique properties in the spintronics materials possessing perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) beyond the Fe and Co-based alloys. It is desired to figure out the quantum physics of PMA inherent to Mn-based alloys, which have never been reported. Here, the origin of PMA in ferrimagnetic Mn3− δ Ga ordered alloys is investigated to resolve antiparallel-coupled Mn sites using x-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism (XMCD/XMLD) and a first-principles calculation. We found that the contribution of orbital magnetic moments in PMA is small from XMCD and that the finite quadrupole-like orbital distortion through spin-flipped electron hopping is dominant from XMLD and theoretical calculations. These findings suggest that the spin-flipped orbital quadrupole formations originate from the PMA in Mn3− δ Ga and bring the paradigm shift in the researches of PMA materials using x-ray magnetic spectroscopies.

AbstractWe present measurements of the evolution with film thickness of the 3d electronic states at the Fermi energy of ultrathin Ni films. The morphology and thickness of the films is determined from x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. x-ray photoelectron diffraction and x-ray magnetic linear dichroism using synchrotron radiation. Photoelectron angular distributions were measured using an ellipsoidal mirror analyzer. Even at submonolayer Ni coverages, the 3d electronic states exhibit bulk-like properties. This is attributed to the short screening length of electrons in metals, the localization of the 3d electrons, the similarity of the Ni and Cu ion cores, and finally the interaction with the underlying fcc periodic potential.

The electronic and magnetic properties of strained tetravalent-ion-doped La0.85Zr0.15MnO3 (LZMO) thin films that were epitaxially grown on SrTiO3 (STO) and MgO substrates were studied using temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), x-ray linear dichroism (XLD) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Mn L3,2- and K-edge. XRD studies reveal that the LZMO thin films have compressive and tensile strains on the STO and MgO substrates, respectively. As temperature is reduced from room temperature to below magnetic transition temperature, the preferentially occupied Mn majority-spin eg orbital changes from the in-plane dx2-y2 to the out-of-plane d3z2-r2 orbital for LZMO/STO, and vice versa for LZMO/MgO. Experimental results suggest that the new hopping path that is mediated by the Mn2+ ions triggers a stronger d3z2-r2 orbital ordering of Mn3+ ions and enhances the ferromagnetic coupling between the Mn spin moments of t2g electrons in LZMO/STO, whereas the tensile strain stabilizes the dx2-y2 orbital by inducing lattice distortions of the MnO6 octahedra in LZMO/MgO.
