New HAXPES Applications at PETRA III
The application of photoelectron spectroscopy using hard X-rays (HAXPES) is becoming increasingly popular as a powerful spectroscopic tool in materials science. The success of HAXPES lies in the fa...
Electronic structure of the spin-12quantum magnet TiOCl
We have studied the electronic structure of the spin-$1∕2$ quantum magnet TiOCl by polarization-dependent momentum-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. From that, we confirm the quasi-one-dimensional nature of the electronic structure along the crystallographic $b$ axis and find no evidence for sizable phonon-induced orbital fluctuations as the origin for the noncanonical phenomenology of the spin-Peierls transition in this compound. A comparison of the experimental data to our own $\mathrm{LDA}+\mathrm{U}$ and Hubbard model calculations reveals a striking lack of understanding regarding the quasi-one-dimensional electron dispersions in the normal state of this compound.
Magnetometry of buried layers—Linear magnetic dichroism and spin detection in angular resolved hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Abstract The electronic properties of buried magnetic nano-layers were studied using the linear magnetic dichroism in the angular distribution of photoemitted Fe, Co, and Mn 2p electrons from a CoFe–Ir78Mn22 multi-layered sample. The buried layers were probed using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, HAXPES, at the undulator beamline P09 of the 3rd generation storage ring PETRA III. The results demonstrate that this magnetometry technique can be used as a sensitive element specific probe for magnetic properties suitable for application to buried ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic magnetic materials and multilayered spintronics devices. Using the same instrument, spin-resolved Fe 2p HAXP…
