Description
Summary:The full understanding of the magnetic properties of the R-M (R=rare earth, M=transition metal) intermetallic compounds needs the magnetic characterization of the conduction band. The microscopic magnetic characterization can be obtained by using the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism technique. We present a systematic X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) study performed at the Fe K-edge of the RFe11Ti intermetallic materials. We have investigated the contribution of the rare-earth sublattice to the dichroism of the transition metal. The existence of a magnetic contribution of the rare-earth has been identified and isolated from the whole spectrum. This contribution is found to be related to the rare-earth moment even when one is looking at the Fe K-edge absorption.
