Magnetic Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering

X-ray resonant magnetic scattering from FePd thin films

Depending on the growth conditions, FePd thin films can display a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy associated with chemical order. In competition with the shape anisotropy, this can lead to striped magnetic domains, with moments perpendicular to the film plane. Under these circumstances, magnetic flux closure should occur. The striped domains were studied with soft x-ray resonant magnetic scat...

The Non-Resonant Magnetic X-ray Scattering Cross Section of MnF 2. 2. High-Energy X-ray Diffraction at 80 keV

Results of high-energy non-resonant magnetic X-ray diffraction experiments performed on the model system MnF 2 at a photon energy of 80 keV are presented. A surprisingly high peak intensity of the magnetic 300 reflection of 13 000 photons s -1 in the three-crystal mode and 19 000 photons s -1 in the two-crystal mode, with a peak-to-background ratio of 230:1 and 10:1, respectively, has been achi...

Soft X-ray resonant magnetic scattering from a Ni layer with modulated magnetic anisotropy.

Soft X-ray resonant magnetic scattering studies on a magnetically modulated, but nominally chemically homogenous, 5 nm Ni layer in a Cu/Ni/Cu/Co/NiO/GaAs(110) system are reported. It was possible to estimate the main chemical structure of the sample on the basis of the results from specular reflectivity and rocking scans, probing the scattering vector components in the perpendicular and in-plan...

X-ray Resonant Magnetic Scattering : Polarisation Dependence in the non-spherical case

We develop a simple tensorial contraction method to obtain analytical formula for X-ray resonant magnetic scattering. We apply the method considering first electric dipole-dipole and electric quadrupolequadrupole scattering in the isolated atom approximation and compare the results with previous works. Then we apply the method to derive phenomenological original formulas which account also for ...
