Abstract
Soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (SXMCD) measurements are reported on the O K- and Mn L-absorption edges of
La1-xSrxMnO3 (x = 0.15, 0.18, and 0.4) single crystals in their ferromagnetic regime. This has been done using a recently
developed experimental technique for magnetizing the samples offering the possibility to get high-accuracy SXMCD effect
measurements on bulk samples. The very strong doping-induced O K-edge intensity is proof of an enhanced O 2p hole
component of the doped holes. O K soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectra give evidence for an orbital magnetic
moment of this O 2p component ferromagnetically coupled to the Mn moments.
