Probing Magnetic Polarities of Magnetotactic Bacteria by X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism in a Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of fascinating organisms that can biomineralize chains of nano-scale (~50 nm) single crystals of magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4), known as magnetosomes [1]. The magnetosome chain passively aligns the magnetotactic bacteria with the Earth’s geomagnetic field lines, a behaviour called magnetotaxis. This, along with oxygen chemotaxis, is believed to g...
متن کاملX-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism of graphene
We present systematic investigations of the electronic and magnetic properties of the graphenel Ni( Ill) system by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroi sm (XMCD) at the Ni L2,3 and C K absorption edges. The XAS CIs -> 1/'* , u* spectra show dramatic changes as the angle, il', between the electrical vector of light and normal of the sample is varied reflecti...
متن کاملX-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism Studies on CeNi4B
The CeNi4B compound is a mixed-valence system. It is a paramagnet with μeff = 0.52 μB/f.u. and the paramagnetic Curie temperature θ = −10.7 K. In the present research we complete our previous magnetic susceptibility and X-ray photoemission measurements with new studies by the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism method. The observation of the Ce M4,5 edges carried out with X-ray magnetic circular ...
متن کاملFemtosecond X-ray magnetic circular dichroism absorption spectroscopy at an X-ray free electron laser.
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy using an X-ray free electron laser is demonstrated with spectra over the Fe L(3,2)-edges. The high brightness of the X-ray free electron laser combined with high accuracy detection of incident and transmitted X-rays enables ultrafast X-ray magnetic circular dichroism studies of unprecedented sensitivity. This new capability is applied to a study of...
متن کاملMagnetic V embedded in copper evidenced by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism
We report the observation of a magnetic moment on vanadium embedded in copper. Using x-ray-absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism we show that the vanadium atomic magnetic moment is strongly dependent on the formation temperature of the VCu alloy. The absorption spectra allow us to distinguish the electronic transitions which are the signature of the magnetic state from t...
