ABSTRACT
The magnetic splitting of Delta(2) valence states in the heavy lanthanide metals Gd, Tb, Dy, and Ho was studied in epitaxial films by angle-resolved photoemission, revealing an essentially Stoner-like temperature dependence in all cases. It scales linearly with the 4f spin moment, even in the case of the helical antiferromagnet Ho. Such a behavior can be explained by a substantial localization of the corresponding wave function in the c direction. The helical magnetic structure was confirmed for the thin Ho films by in situ resonant magnetic x-ray diffraction.
