Effect of the valence state on the band magnetocrystalline anisotropy in two-dimensional rare-earth/noble-metal compounds
In intermetallic compounds with zero orbital momentum (L=0) the magnetic anisotropy and the electronic band structure are interconnected. Here, we investigate this connection in divalent Eu and trivalent Gd intermetallic compounds. We find by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism an out-of-plane easy ma...
