abstract = {Magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) with 6 nm diameter and a 200
nm thick magnetite reference film were studied with a
combination of experimental and theoretical methods, i.e.
x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), x-ray
magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), vibrating sample
magnetometry (VSM) and electronic structure calculations
based on density functional theory. For the NPs, increases
of the white line intensity and the XMCD signal with
increasing temperature were observed between 50 K and 100 K
(Fig. 1a, b). A similar increase of the XMCD signal was also
observed for the film between 125 K and 175 K, which is
above its Verwey transition temperature of 120 K in
agreement with the unusual temperature dependence of the
magneto-crystalline anisotropy. A sum rule analysis of the
XMCD spectra revealed that the transitions observed with
XMCD are due to changing effective Fe spin moments. Since
the transitions were not observed with VSM, we attribute
them to changes of the intra-atomic dipole moment of the Fe
3d spin-density distribution, i.e. the Tz term in the XMCD
sum rule for the effective spin moment. This conclusion was
verified and explained theoretically. The sizable negative
intra-atomic dipole moment in the monoclinic low-temperature
phase of magnetite is due to the contribution of Fe2+ ions
on B4 sites (-1.44 μB per atom) which is partly compensated
by Fe2+ ions on B1 sites (0.72 μB per atom). It is a local
indicator for the Verwey transition in small magnetite
nanoparticles which is usually screened by blocking effects
in classical magnetometry.},
