摘要
The magnetic dipole term (T) appearing in the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spin sum rule can be eliminated from the analysis within the spin sum rule by angle-dependent XMCD spectroscopy if the effects of spin-orbit coupling are small so that (T-x) + (T-y) + (T-z) approximate to 0. It is shown by the ab initio electron theory for the extreme case of a low-dimensional system, i.e., for a free-standing monatomic Co wire that this relation is strongly violated, indicating that the determination of (T) by the angle-dependent XMCD is possibly not very reliable for low-dimensional magnetic systems.
