These lectures will cover the recent development of magnetic nanostructures, which are of tremendous interest, be it for technological applications or for the fundamental understanding of magnetism. Magnetism in the past has mostly been discussed as a macroscopic function of the free energy. Today’s magnetic cluster and films of nanometer scale combined with UHV technique offer a new point of view to discuss magnetism in a microscopic atomistic picture.

Introduction

1. Introduction a) Orbital and spin magnetic momentsb) Which experimental technique measures what?

5. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)a) Element specific XMCD, induced magnetism b) Sum rules and advanced theoryc) Importance of strong spin–spin correlations in 2D-magnets

Direct Observation of Orbital Magnetism in Cubic Solids

Standard exercise in solid state physics:cubic symmetry ⇒ ⟨Lz ⟩ =0

Is the orbital moment of 3d impurities in noble metal hosts completely quenched?

• XMCD investigations of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co in Au

• ab initio calculations of orbital moment


Motivation

atoms metals

large µL(Hund’s rules)

µL mostly quenched(Fe, Co, Ni:

µL/µS~5-10%)

3d impuritiesin noble metalhosts:

⇓1970’s: indirect evidence forsurviving orbital moments(HF measurements)

here: first direct evidence (electronic structure) byX-ray absorption spectroscopy(XMCD)

subtle effect of hybridization and band-filling

S. Frota-Pessôa, PRB 69 (2004) 104401

Fe in Au:strong hybridization:µL quenched

Fe in Ag:weak hybridizationµL survives


• first direct experimental evidence for orbital moments in cubic symmetry

• text book arguments: weak Spin-Orbit coupling, distinct separation of t2g and eg, no intermixing

• comparison to ab initio calculations: delicate balance hybridizationbetween local impurity and host and the filling of the 3d states of the impurity

⇒ future works on Kondo systems, e.g. with STM, may include surviving orbital moment

⇒ description beyond pure spin magnetism (e.g. Kondo-like Hamiltonian JS·σ)

per definition:1) spin moments are isotropic2) also exchange coupling J S1·S2 is isotropic3) so called anisotropic exchange is a (hidden)

projection of the orbital momentum onto spin space

Summary

Distinguish between: 1. Magnetic anisotropy energy = f(T) 2. Anisotropic magnetic moment ≠ f(T)

Quenching of <LZ> is oversimplified argument
