Dipolar Excitations at the LIII X-Ray Absorption Edges of the Heavy Rare-Earth Metals

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: We report measured dipolar asymmetry ratios at the LIII edges of the heavy rare-earth metals. The results are compared with a first-principles calculation and excellent agreement is found. A simple model of the scattering is developed, enabling us to reinterpret the resonant x-ray scattering in these materials and to identify the peaks in the asymmetry ratios with features in the spin and orbital moment densities.
