摘要
The element-selected magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) between Gd core states is observed in the soft X-ray region (1150-1250 eV). The dichroism intensity for the transition from the 3d to 4f orbital of the Gd atomic state is very strong and reaches up to about 30% at 15 K. The temperature dependence of the MCD intensity shows a ferromagnetic phase around 50-80 K in addition to the room temperature ferromagnetic phase. Its X-ray absorption near edge structure is different from those of other Gd compounds. It seems to be related to the strength of the ferromagnetic behavior.
