Soft x-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism spectroscopy at the Dy and Tb M4,5 and the Fe L2,3 edges was performed on a sputter deposited polycrystalline Terfenol-D (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe2) film on sapphire substrates at temperatures from 100 to 300 K to evaluate the elementwise contribution to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and coercive field. The elemental spin and orbital magnetic moments were calculated using the x-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism sum rules. As temperatures decreased, the Tb and Fe moments plateau at 200 K with values of 7.6 μB/atom and 1.8 μB/atom, respectively, while the Dy moment increases to 8.9 μB/atom at 100 K. Between 300 and 200 K, the change in magnetic anisotropy is dominated by thermally induced magnetoelastic effects while for temperatures below 200 K magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) changes are dominant. The MCA changes below 200 K appear to be due to increases in the Dy orbital moment with decreasing temperature in this temperature regime.
