Valence-state mixing and reduced magnetic moment in Fe 3 − δ GeTe 2 single crystals with varying Fe content probed by x-ray spectroscopy

We present a spectroscopic study of the magnetic properties of Fe3−δGeTe2 single crystals with varying Fe content, achieved by tuning the stoichiometry of the crystals. We carried out x-ray absorption spectroscopy and analyzed the x-ray circular magnetic dichroism spectra using the sum rules, to det...
