【 摘 要 】

We report the observation of a magnetic moment on vanadium embedded in copper. Using x-ray-absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism we show that the vanadium atomic magnetic moment is strongly dependent on the formation temperature of the VCu alloy. The absorption spectra allow us to distinguish the electronic transitions which are the signature of the magnetic state from the nonmagnetic states. We discuss the temperature dependence of the magnetic moment of vanadium and show that alloys prepared at 250 and 270 K do follow a ferrimagnetic behavior rather than a Curie-Weiss law.
