Magnetic ordering in Ho-doped Bi2Te3 topological insulator thin films

We investigate the magnetic properties of Ho-doped Bi2Te3 thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Analysis of the polarized x-ray absorption spectra at the Ho M5 absorption edge gives an effective 4f magnetic moment which is ~45% of the Hund's rule ground state value. X-ray magnetic circula...
