Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 217207 (2005) [4 pages]Atomic Origin of Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy in Nd2Fe14BReceived 1 August 2005; published 18 November 2005 The magnetic moment reversal at each of the two inequivalent Nd sites in a single crystal of ferromagnetic Nd2Fe14B is probed by dichroic resonant diffraction of circularly polarized x rays. The results, supported by theory, show that the c-axis intrinsic magnetic stability of this superior permanent magnetic material arises predominately at one of the Nd sites (g). The other site (f) undermines magnetic stability by favoring a magnetic moment orientation in the basal plane. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
