Perovskite manganites such as LaMnO3 are known to reveal a non-trivial behavior of the manganese L-edge resonant absorption, due to a complicated interplay between Hund’s first rule, spin-orbit coupling and crystal field splitting. Using Resonant X-ray Reflectivity (RXR), together with cluster calculations, we study the optical properties of LaMnO3 and Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 samples. We are investigating the resonant behavior of the Mn ions depending on varying mechanisms such as doping, oxygen stoichiometry overshoots and distortions of the MnO6 octahedra, the latter being induced by either the Jahn-Teller effect or epitaxial strain. The layer-resolved nature of RXR enables us to derive the separate concentrations of the Mn valencies, which allows for different conclusions about interfacial correlation effects in the presence of orbital and magnetic ordering.
