Abstract
The electronic as well as magnetic properties of ${\text{Ga}}_{x}{\text{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$ films were studied by soft x-ray measurements. Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism the Fe majority-spin band was found to be completely filled for $x\ensuremath{\approx}0.3$. With further enhanced Ga content, the Fe moment as well as the angular dependence of the x-ray magnetic linear dichroism decrease strongly, which we attribute to the formation of $\text{D}{0}_{3}$ precipitates. Moreover, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy drops significantly.
