Unraveling 5f-6d hybridization in uranium compounds via spin-resolved L-edge spectroscopy

Study and identification of the actinide electronic structure is complicated and crucial. Here the authors probe the hybridization between 5f to 6d orbitals in uranium compounds using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism near U-L3 edge through the dipolar and quadrupolar spectral contributions.
