Determination of the spin and orbital magnetic polarization of the U 6d states in ferromagnetic uranium based compounds

This proposal is aiming to measure the XMCD at the L3,2-edges and at the M3,2-edges of uranium in well-defined defined uranium ferromagnetic based system UGe2 and US as well as in UFe2. A first objective is to understand how the XMCD at the L3,2-edges evolves for those systems and a second objective is to determine quantitatively the spin and orbital magnetic moment of the uranium 6d states using the magneto-optical sum-rules at the M3,2-edges of uranium.
