Quadrupolar XMCD at the Fe K -edge in Fe phthalocyanine film on Au: Insight into the magnetic ground state

The observation of an anomalous quadrupolar signal in x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Fe K-edge of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) films is reported. All ground states previously suggested for FePc are incompatible with the experimental data. Based on ab initio molecular orbital multiplet...

Sumario:The observation of an anomalous quadrupolar signal in x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Fe K-edge of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) films is reported. All ground states previously suggested for FePc are incompatible with the experimental data. Based on ab initio molecular orbital multiplet calculations of the isolated FePc molecule, we propose a model for the magnetic ground state of the FePc film that explains the XMCD data and reproduces the observed values of the orbital moments in the perpendicular and planar directions.
