We present x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) experiments at the L2,3 edges of Pt in ordered TPta alloys (T= Cr, Mn and Co). The derived Pt 5d spin and orbital magnetic moments are found to be in good agreement with band structure calculations. The extraction of 5d magnetic moments from measured x-ray-absorption spectra is discussed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
