Angle-dependent Ni2+ x-ray magnetic linear dichroism: Interfacialcoupling revisited
Journal Article
·
· Physical Review Letters
Using x ray magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) for magnetometry requires detailed knowledge of its dependence on the relative orientation of polarization, magnetic moments, and crystallographic axes. We show that Ni{sup 2+} L{sub 2,3} XMLD in cubic lattices has to be described as linear combination of two fundamental spectra - not one as previously assumed. The spectra are calculated using atomic multiplet theory and the angular dependence is derived from crystal field symmetry. Applying our results to Co/NiO(001) interfaces, we find perpendicular coupling between Ni and Co moments.
