Abstract

The antiferromagnetic insulator La_1.5Ca_0.5CoO ₄ has been investigated by Co L_2,3-edge and O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements and Co L_2,3-edge resonant soft X-ray magnetic scattering (RXMS) measurement to determine the Co electronic structures associated with magnetic ordering. Co L_2,3-edge linear-dichroic XAS shows that Co²⁺ takes a high-spin (HS) state and Co³⁺ takes a low-spin (LS) state. Using Co L_2,3-edge RXMS, we directly determined that an antiferromagnetic order is formed with a HS state of Co²⁺ ions. Moreover, the spin and orbital angular momenta of the Co²⁺ HS state are quantitatively estimated to be 1.1 ± 0.1 and 1.0 ± 0.1, respectively, and to align parallel in the ab plane by utilizing the cluster model calculation. The large orbital angular momentum of the Co²⁺ HS state originates from the small D_4h -symmetry crystal field splitting of t2g levels, which is comparable with the spin-orbit coupling constant of the Co 3d orbital.
