Abstract

Soft x-ray linear and circular dichroism (XLD, XMCD) experiments at the Ce M-4,M-5 edges are being used to determine the energy scales characterizing the Ce 4f degrees of freedom in the ultrathin ordered surface intermetallic CeAgx/Ag(111). We find that all relevant interactions, i.e., Kondo scattering, crystal field splitting and magnetic exchange coupling occur on small scales. Our study demonstrates the usefulness of combining x-ray absorption experiments probing the temperature dependence of both linear and circular dichroism owing to their strong sensitivity for anisotropies in both charge distribution and paramagnetic response, respectively.
