| Abstract: | Co and Mn 2p core absorption (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra have been measured for the ferromagnetic ternary alloy Co2MnGe. The observed Co 2p XAS spectrum can be understood on the basis of the unoccupied Co 3d partial density of states, whereas the overall features of the Mn 2p XAS and XMCD spectra have been partly reproduced by the Mn 2p53d6 final state multiplets. We have found that the orbital polarization of the Co 3d and even the Mn 3d states are recognizable, which suggests that a spin-orbit coupling should be taken into account in the energy band structure in order to reproduce the half metallic nature of this alloy. |
