Popis: Temperature dependence of anisotropic tensor susceptibility (ATS) scattering intensities of GdB4 were measured near L-edges of Gd to investigate how spin ordering affects ATS. ATS scattering intensities for L2- and L3-edges show different temperature dependence below TN. At L3-edge the intensities reflect spin order parameter while intensities at L2-edge do not show noticeable change. The difference is explained in terms of spin-orbit coupling and isotropic distribution of spin-polarized 5d states of Gd ions. Above TN ATS scattering intensities demonstrate that thermal motions enhance charge distribution anisotorpy of Gd 5d states in paramagnetic phase.
