摘要：

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) signals are usually absent in antiferromagnets. In this paper, we report the observation of spontaneous XMCD spectra originating from the inverse triangular spin structure, or the polarization of the cluster magnetic octupole, in the chiral antiferromagnet Mn3Sn thin film. The result is consistent with the recent theoretical predictions that the inverse triangular spin structure can give rise to finite XMCD signals in the absence of net magnetization [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn 89, 083703 (2020) and Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 157402 (2021)].
