Electronic structures of Cr$_{1-δ}$X (X=S, Te) studied by Cr 2p soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism

Cr 2p core excited XAS and XMCD spectra of ferromagnetic Cr$_{1-δ}$Te with several concentrations of $δ$=0.11-0.33 and ferrimagnetic Cr$_{5}$S$_{6}$ have been measured. The observed XMCD lineshapes are found to very weakly depend on $δ$ for Cr$_{1-δ}$Te. The experimental results are analyzed by means of a configuration-interaction cluster model calculation with consideration of hybridization and electron correlation effects. The obtained values of the spin magnetic moment by the cluster model analyses are in agreement with the results of the band structure calculation.The calculated result shows that the doped holes created by the Cr deficiency exist mainly in the Te 5porbital of Cr$_{1-δ}$Te, whereas the holes are likely to be in Cr 3d state for Cr$_{5}$S$_{6}$.

Prominent quasi-particle peak in the photoemission spectrum of the metallic phase of V_2O_3

We present the first observation of a prominent quasi-particle peak in the photoemission spectrum of the metallic phase of V_2O_3 and report new spectral calculations that combine the local density approximation with the dynamical mean-field theory (using quantum Monte Carlo simulations) to show the development of such a distinct peak with decreasing temperature. The experimental peak width and weight are significantly larger than in the theory.

Auger Effect in the High-Resolution Ce 3d-edge Resonant Photoemission

The bulk-sensitive Ce 4$f$ spectral weights of various Ce compounds including CeFe$_2$, CeNi$_2$, and CeSi$_2$ were obtained with the resonant photoemission technique at the Ce 3d-edge. We found the lineshapes change significantly with the small change of the incident photon energy. Detailed analysis showed that this phenomenon results primarily from the Auger transition between different multiplet states of the Ce $\underline{3d_{5/2}}4f^2$ (bar denotes a hole) electronic configuration in the intermediate state of the resonant process. This tells us that extra care should be taken for the choice of the resonant photon energy when extracting Ce 4$f$ spectral weights from the Ce 3$d$-edge resonant photoemission spectra. The absorption energy corresponding to the lowest multiplet structure of the Ce $\underline{3d_{5/2}}4f^2$ configuration seems to be the logical choice.

Soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism study of the ferromagnetic Cr$_{1-δ}$Te

The 2p core excited XAS and XMCD spectra of Cr$_{1-δ}$Te with several concentrations of $δ$=0.11-0.33 have been measured. The observed XMCD lineshapes are found to very weakly depend on $δ$. The experimental results are analyzed in terms of the configuration-interaction picture with consideration of hybridization and electron correlation effects. The calculated result shows that CrTe can be classified into a charge transfer type material and created holes preferably exist in Te 5p orbitals in Cr deficient materials Cr$_{1-δ}$Te, which are in consistence with the observed XMCD feature and the reported band structure calculation.

Soft X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism of c(2x2) CuMn Ordered Surface Alloy

Mn 2p soft X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopy excited with circularly polarized synchrotron radiation has been applied to a new class of material, c(2x2)CuMn/Cu(001) two-dimensional ordered surface alloy. A significant X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) signal has been clearly observed at T=25K, indicating the existence of the ferromagnetic state under the external magnetic field of 1.4 Tesla. The lineshape analyses of the XAS and XMCD spectra clearly show that the Mn 3d state is rather localized and has a high spin magnetic moment due to its half-filled character.

Resonant photoemission spectroscopy study of insulator-to-metal transition in Cr- and Ru-doped Nd_{1/2}A_{1/2}Mn_{1-y} O_{3} (A=Ca, Sr)

Electronic structures of very dilute Cr- or Ru-doped Nd_{1/2}A_{1/2}MnO_{3} (NAMO; A=Ca, Sr) manganites have been investigated using the Mn and Cr 2p -> 3d resonant photoemission spectroscopy (PES). All the Cr- and Ru-doped NAMO systems exhibit the clear metallic Fermi edges in the Mn e_g spectra near E_F, consistent with their metallic ground states. The Cr 3d states with t^3_{2g} configuration are at ~ 1.3 eV below E_F, and the Cr e_{g} states do not participate in the formation of the band near E_F. Cr- and Ru-induced ferromagnetism and insulator-to-metal transitions can be understood with their measured electronic structures.

Bulk-sensitive photoemission spectroscopy of A_2FeMoO_6 double perovskites (A=Sr, Ba)

Electronic structures of Sr_2FeMoO_6 (SFMO) and Ba_2FeMoO_6 (BFMO) double perovskites have been investigated using the Fe 2p->3d resonant photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and the Cooper minimum in the Mo 4d photoionization cross section. The states close to the Fermi level are found to have strongly mixed Mo-Fe t_{2g} character, suggesting that the Fe valence is far from pure 3+. The Fe 2p_{3/2} XAS spectra indicate the mixed-valent Fe^{3+}-Fe^{2+} configurations, and the larger Fe^{2+} component for BFMO than for SFMO, suggesting a kind of double exchange interaction. The valence-band PES spectra reveal good agreement with the LSDA+U calculation.

Direct experimental verification of applicability of single-site model for angle integrated photoemission of small $T_{K}$ concentrated Ce compounds

Bulk-sensitive high-resolution Ce 4f spectra have been obtained from 3d $\to$ 4f resonance photoemission measurements on La$_{1-x}$Ce$_x$Al$_2$ and La$_{1-x}$Ce$_x$Ru$_2$ for $x = 0.0, 0.04, 1.0$. The 4f spectra of low-Kondo-temperature ($T_{K}$) (La,Ce)Al$_2$ are essentially identical except for a slight increase of the Kondo peak with $x$, which is consistent with a known increase of $T_{K}$ with $x$. In contrast, the 4f spectra of high-$T_{K}$ (La,Ce)Ru$_2$ show a Kondo-like peak and also a 0.5 eV structure which increases strongly with $x$. The resonance photon-energy dependences of the two contributions are different and the origin of the 0.5 eV structure is still uncertain.

Anomalous Raman shift in the ternary fullerides with t1g states

Raman shift dependence of charge transfer is studied in the two fulleride families of AxBa3C60 (x=0,3; A=K,Rb) and KxSm2.75C60 (x=0,3.25). It is found that the Raman spectra are essentially identical to each other for all ternary fullerides, The results show a crossover point at the boundary of t1u and t1g bands for the Raman shift dependence of charge transfer. For the t1u fullerides, the Ag(2) pinch mode follows the characteristic shift of ~6.3cm-1 per elementary charge widely observed in KxC60. The two Ag modes in t1g fullerides show a complicated behavior. An anomalous Raman shift is observed in the t1g fullerides. This anomalous Raman shift of the two Ag modes could not be explained only by charge transfer.
