Charge transfer-tuned magnetism in Nd-substituted Gd5Si4
We report a charge-transfer mechanism in tuning of magnetism of Nd-substituted Gd5-xNdxSi4 (x=1 and 2.5) compounds. The X-ray absorption near edge structure measurements demonstrated that Nd substitutions for Gd induce charge transfer of 5d electrons from Gd to Nd. The charge transfer weakens spin-o...
