Abstract
The colossal magnetoresistance manganites La0.87±0.02Sr0.12±0.02MnO3+δ, La0.78±0.02Sr0.17±0.02MnO3+δ, and La0.66±0.02Sr0.36±0.02MnO3+δ (δ close to 0) were investigated by using soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and magnetometry. Very good agreement between the values for the average Mn magnetic moments determined with these two methods was achieved by correcting the XMCD spin sum rule
