We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the local magnetism of the Co ions in the spin-chain compound CoV2O6, which crystallizes in two different allotropic phases, alpha- and gamma-CoV2O6. Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, we have found a very large and a moderate orbital contribution to the magnetism in alpha- and gamma-CoV2O6, respectively. Full-multiplet calculations indicate that the differences in the magnetic behavior of alpha- and gamma-CoV2O6 phases originate from different local distortions of the CoO6 octahedra. In particular, the strong compression of the CoO6 octahedra in alpha-CoV2O6 lead to a strong mixture of t2g and eg orbitals which, via the local atomic Coulomb and exchange interactions, results in an exceptionally large orbital moment.

Raman scattering experiments on CdCr2S4 single crystals show pronounced anomalies in intensity and frequency of optical phonon modes with an onset temperature T*=130 K that coincides with the regime of giant magnetocapacitive effects. A loss of inver
sion symmetry and Cr off-centering are deduced from the observation of longitudinal optical and formerly infrared active modes for T<T_c=84 K. The intensity anomalies are attributed to the enhanced electronic polarizability of displacements that modulate the Cr-S distance and respective hybridization. Photo doping leads to an annihilation of the symmetry reduction. Our scenario of multiferroic effects is based on the near degeneracy of polar and nonpolar modes and the additional low energy scale due to hybridization.
Thin films of the ferromagnetic metal SrRuO3 (SRO) show a varying easy magnetization axis depending on the epitaxial strain and undergo a metal-to-insulator transition with decreasing film thickness. We have investigated the magnetic properties of SR
O thin films with varying thicknesses fabricated on SrTiO3(001) substrates by soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Ru M2,3 edge. Results have shown that, with decreasing film thickness, the film changes from ferromagnetic to non-magnetic around 3monolayer thickness, consistent with previous magnetization and magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements. The orbital magnetic moment perpendicular to the film was found to be ~ 0.1{mu}B/Ru atom, and remained nearly unchanged with decreasing film thickness while the spin magnetic moment decreases. Mechanism for the formation of the orbital magnetic moment is discussed based on the electronic structure of the compressively strained SRO film.
We use an extended two-band Kondo lattice model (KLM) to investigate the occurrence of different (anti-)ferromagnetic phases or phase separation depending on several model parameters. With regard to CMR-materials like the manganites we have added a J
ahn-Teller term, direct antiferromagnetic coupling and Coulomb interaction to the KLM. The electronic properties are self-consistently calculated in an interpolating self-energy approach with no restriction to classical spins and going beyond mean-field treatments. Further on we do not have to limit the Hunds coupling to low or infinite values. Zero-temperature phase diagrams are presented for large parameter intervals. There are strong influences of the type of Coulomb interaction (intraband, interband) and of the important parameters (Hunds coupling, direct antiferromagnetic exchange, Jahn-Teller distortion), especially at intermediate couplings.
Magnetic properties of the substitution series Ru$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$Cl$_3$ were investigated to determine the evolution from the anisotropic Kitaev magnet $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ with $J_{rm eff} = 1/2$ magnetic Ru$^{3+}$ ions to the isotropic Heisenberg magnet
CrCl$_3$ with $S = 3/2$ magnetic Cr$^{3+}$ ions. Magnetization measurements on single crystals revealed a reversal of the magnetic anisotropy under doping, which we argue to arise from the competition between anisotropic Kitaev and off-diagonal interactions on the Ru-Ru links and approximately isotropic Cr-Ru and isotropic Cr-Cr interactions. In addition, combined magnetization, ac susceptibility and specific-heat measurements clearly show the destabilization of the long-range magnetic order of $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ in favor of a spin-glass state of Ru$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$Cl$_3$ for a low doping of $xbacksimeq0.1$. The corresponding freezing temperature as a function of Cr content shows a broad maximum around $xbacksimeq0.45$.
We review the magnetic and orbital ordered states in cro{} by performing Resonant Elastic X-ray Scattering (REXS) at the Ru L$_{2,3}$-edges. In principle, the point symmetry at Ru sites does not constrain the direction of the magnetic moment below $T
_N$. However early measurements reported the ordered moment entirely along the $vec{b}$ orthorhombic axis. Taking advantage of the large resonant enhancement of the magnetic scattering close to the Ru L$_2$ and L$_3$ absorption edges, we monitored the azimuthal, thermal and energy dependence of the REXS intensity and find that a canting ($m_c simeq 0.1 m_b$) along the $vec{c}$-orthorhombic axis is present. No signal was found for $m_a$ despite this component also being allowed by symmetry. Such findings are interpreted by a microscopic model Hamiltonian, and pose new constraints on the parameters describing the model. Using the same technique we reviewed the accepted orbital ordering picture. We detected no symmetry breaking associated with the signal increase at the so-called orbital ordering temperature ($simeq 260$ K). We did not find any changes of the orbital pattern even through the antiferromagnetic transition, suggesting that, if any, only a complex rearrangement of the orbitals, not directly measurable using linearly polarized light, can take place.
