Soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism study of weakly ferromagnetic Zn1-xVxO thin film
Abstract
We performed a soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) study of a Zn1-xVxO thin film which showed small ferromagnetic moment. Field and temperature dependences of V 2p XMCD signals indicated the coexistence of Curie-Weiss paramagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and possibly ferromagnetic V ions, quantitatively consistent with the magnetization measurements. We attribute the paramagnetic signal to V ions substituting Zn sites which are somewhat elongated along the c-axis.
