The study of the magnetization process of fe film by magnetic Compton scattering and Mössbauer spectroscopy

Abstract The magnetization process of Fe (110) film was investigated using the field dependence of magnetic Compton scattering and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The spin and orbital magnetic moment specific magnetization versus magnetizing field curves were obtained from the magnetic Compton profiles, and the angles between the magnetizing field and the magnetic moment, θ , were obtained from the Mossbauer spectra. It was found that the magnetizing field dependence of the ratio between orbital moment and spin moment was related to θ . We indicate that the magnetic field dependence of the orbital magnetic moment plays a role in the magnetization process.
