Resonant X-Ray Magnetic Scattering from CoO

Temperature-Dependent 1s2p Resonant Inelastic X‐ray Scattering of CoO

The temperature-dependent 1s2p resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of CoO have been measured with 0.3 eV overall resolution, and the RIXS planes have been analyzed with multiplet calculations. The analysis of the high-resolution 1s2p RIXS plane allows a more detailed determination of the ground-state electronic structure, as compared to 1s X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The...

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...

Hard x-ray resonant scattering study of Ni81Fe19(111)/CoO(111) exchange biased bilayer

We have employed hard x-ray resonant magnetic scattering to study the bulk antiferromagnetic domain state of the archetypal epitaxial Ni81Fe19(111)/CoO(111) exchange biased bilayer (Ni81Fe19 = Permalloy = Py). Tuning the x-ray energy to the Co K-edge, we were able to detect the ( 1 2 1

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...
