To probe the detailed interfacial electronic structure of orbital hybridization between the Fe 3d and Au 6p bands, we detected the interfacial proximity effect, which modulates the valence-band electronic structure of Fe, resulting in PMA. MS and XMCD measurements were used to detect the interfacial magnetic structure and anisotropy in orbital magnetic moments, respectively. In situ ARPES also confirms the initial growth of Fe on large spin-orbit coupled surface Shockley states under Au(111) modulated electronic states in the vicinity of the Fermi level. This suggests that PMA in the Fe/Au(111) interface originates from the cooperation effects among the spin, orbital magnetic moments in Fe, and large spin-orbit coupling in Au. These findings pave the way to develop interfacial PMA using p-d hybridization with a large spin-orbit interaction.}, title = {Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the Fe/Au(111) interface studied by Mössbauer, x-ray absorption, and photoemission spectroscopies}, volume = {103}, year = {2021} }
