PMA(k) contributions along high-symmetry directions in the two-dimensional Brillouin zone for Fe|FePt|MgO (a), Pd|FePt|MgO (b), and Pt|FePt|MgO (c) are shown on the top row. The corresponding energy- and k-resolved distribution of the orbital character of the minority-spin band of 9ML-FePt slab for Fe d xy and \({d}_{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}\) (middle row), d yz , \({d}_{{z}^{2}}\) and d xz (bottom row). The d xy , d yz , \({d}_{{z}^{2}}\), d xz and \({d}_{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}\) orbital states are coloured by the black, blue, red, magenta, and green balls, respectively. The sizes of ball stand for the amplitude of the corresponding orbital character.
