摘要：
The electronic and magnetic states of a monatomic Fe(001) layer directly facing an MgO(001) tunnel barrier were studied by angle-resolved X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Fe L-2,L-3 edges in the longitudinal (L) and transverse (T) arrangements. A strong XMCD reveals no oxidation of the 1-ML Fe, showing its crucial role in giant tunnel magnetoresistance effects in Fe/MgO/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions. Sum-rule analyses of the angle-resolved XMCD give values of a spin moment, in-plane and out-of-plane orbital and magnetic dipole moments. Argument is given on their physical implication.
