论文摘要

通过软X射线吸收光谱研究研究了钨(110)上外延MN单层的非连线磁态,以补充早期的Spin Polarized STM实验。 X射线吸收光谱(XAS),X射线线性二色性(XLD)和X射线磁性圆形二色性(XMCD)Mn L23-边缘在温度范围为8到300 K,并且与完全占主导地位的AB Initio Initio计算的结果相比。我们表明,抗铁磁(AFM)螺旋和循环螺旋会产生明显不同的Mn L23-EDGE XLD信号,从而使它们区分它们。从我们的结果来看,W(110)上的Mn单层的磁接地态是AFM环形自旋螺旋。基于温度依赖性XA,XLD和田间诱导的XMCD光谱,我们推断出Mn单层在W(110)上的磁性特性随温度而变化,但是这种变化表明,在调查的温度范围内,在Xas分支率和XAS分支速率的温度依赖性中,调查的温度范围为300 k-频率范围为300 k-,并且在XAS依赖率均存在。

The noncollinear magnetic state of epitaxial Mn monolayers on tungsten (110) crystal surfaces is investigated by means of soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy, to complement earlier spin-polarized STM experiments. X-ray absorption spectra (XAS), x-ray linear dichroism (XLD) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) Mn L23-edge spectra were measured in the temperature range from 8 to 300 K and compared to results of fully-relativistic ab initio calculations. We show that antiferromagnetic (AFM) helical and cycloidal spirals give rise to significantly different Mn L23-edge XLD signals, enabling thus to distinguish between them. It follows from our results that the magnetic ground state of a Mn monolayer on W(110) is an AFM cycloidal spin spiral. Based on temperature-dependent XAS, XLD and field-induced XMCD spectra we deduce that magnetic properties of the Mn monolayer on W(110) vary with temperature, but this variation lacks a clear indication of a phase transition in the investigated temperature range up to 300 K - even though a crossover exists around 170 K in the temperature dependence of XAS branching ratios and in XLD profiles.
