Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:56.26(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Effects of orbital degeneracy on magnetic susceptibility in paramagnetic phases are investigated within a mean-field theory. Under certain crystalline electric fields, the magnetic moment consists of two independent moments, e.g., spin and orbital moments. In such a case, the magnetic susceptibility is given by the sum of two different Curie-Weiss relations, leading to the deviation from the Curie-Weiss law. Such behavior may be observed in - and -electron systems with and ground states, respectively. As a potential application of our theory, we attempt to explain the difference in the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities of UO and NpO. Then, we find that the difference in the temperature dependence can be naturally explained by considering the effects of the octupole moments in NpO.

The electronic and spin state of the perpendicular magnetization film TbFeCo was investigated by means of magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy for each element. The samples are TbFeCo while the ratio of a rare-earth metal Tb to transition metals Fe and Co is constant, the composition ratio of Fe and Co is changed. Changing the ratio, we estimated the expected orbital moments of Tb 4f electrons. The macroscopic magnetic property is studied from the microscopic point of view.

Times Cited Count:60 Percentile:89.21(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of core-level absorption [x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)] spectra in the soft x-ray region has been measured for the ferromagnetic Heusler alloys CoTiSn, CoZrSn, and CoNbSn. The many-peak structures which are clearly observed in the Co 2p-3d XAS-MCD spectra cannot be well explained by atomic multiplet calculations but are better explained by the Co 3d unoccupied states predicted by linear muffin-tin orbital atomic sphere approximation band structure calculations. The MCD spectra show an obvious contribution of the orbital angular momentum component to the magnetic moment in these alloys. The ratio between the orbital angular momentum and spin derived from the MCD spectra varies by more than a factor of 2 within these alloys. The mechanism of this variation is discussed in comparison with the band structure calculations.
