  1. mS and mL momenta were calculated along the Ge0.87Mn0.13Te[111] easy magnetization axis. Besides dominant Mn d states, theoretical values include small contributions from the s and p valence orbitals. On the other hand, due to dipole selection rules, XMCD data consider only Mn 3d contributions.
