Calculations for Fe2+ in Oh symmetry with fully quenched spin–orbit coupling. (a) L2,3 XMLD with linear polarization rotated 30° from the [1,0,0] (labelled L30). The XMLD signal is defined as: XMLD = XAS(ϕ) − XAS(60°) where ϕ is the angle of the magnetic field. The solid lines show XMLD computed individually for every magnetic field orientation while the dashed lines are computed using the cubic field expansion [equation (15)]. (b) The angle between the spin moment and the magnetic field as a function of the magnetic field rotation angle. |
