The magnetization density distribution in the ionic ferromagnet Rb 2 CrCl 4 has been determined by polarized neutron diffraction from a single crystal at 4.5 K. Magnetic structure factors F M were derived from the flipping ratios R of 660 main structure reflections (189 independent) and 57 super-structure reflections with sin θ /λ ≼ 0.8 Å -1 (λ = 0.90 Å). The main structure reflections were corrected for extinction using a secondary extinction parameter. The F M were modelled by representing the mag­netization density by a superposition of densities from orbitals centred at each atom : Cr(3d, 4s) and Cl(3s, 3p). The results verify the presence of orbital ordering arising from the cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion in the basal plane, previously postulated as responsible for the ferromagnetic exchange interaction. The proportion of the Cr 2+ moment occupying each 3d orbital is 0.26(2)( yz ), 0.25(2)( xz ), 0.25 0.25(2)( z 2 ) and — 0.01 (2)( x 2 — y 2 ), where z is the principal axis of Jahn-Teller elongation at each Cr site. The optimum refined distribution of the magnetic moment (μ B ) was Cr(3d) 3.16(8), Cr(4s) 0.6(1), equatorial Cl(3s) 0.05(2), Cl(3p) 0.06(3) and axial Cl(3s) 0.03(3), Cl(3p) 0.08(5).

AbstractA polarized neutron reflectometry study of the magnetization density depth profile of a Co0.1Pt0.9-CoPt3 bilayer film found evidence for an induced moment in the Co0.1Pt0.9 overlayer in close proximity to the CoPt3 underlayer. If the moment of Co in these films is that of the bulk, then the μpt = 0.09(1)μB in the overlayer, and μpt = 0.04(1)μB, in the underlayer. In addition, ferromagnetic order of the Co0.1Pt0.9 overlayer was observed 8K above Tc for the material in the bulk.
