چکیده

A new internet-based synchrotron experiment for students is presented. A polarimeter and computer software have been developed for measuring via the internet the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism of PtFe around its Pt L(II) and L(III) absorption edges. From the experiment, students can examine the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism of a thin PtFe foil utilizing circular-polarized synchrotron radiation emitted by the superconducting asymmetric wiggler at the synchrotron radiation source DELTA of the University of Dortmund.

Magnetic circular dichroism in the L2,3 x-ray fluorescence of Fe and Co

the L2,3 x-ray fluorescence spectra of magnetized Fe and CO excited by circularly polarized synchrotron radiation exhibit magnetic circular dichroism. The results are compared to the energy resolved spin polarized densities of states given by first-principles calculations.

Ultrafast Magnetization Dynamics Studies using an X-ray Streak Camera

The spin dynamics of ferromagnetic thin films following an excitation by ultrashort 100-fs near-infrared laser pulses has recently received much attention. Here, a new approach is described using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism to investigate demagnetization and magnetization switching processes. In contrast to magneto-optical measurements, x-ray dichroism has the advantage of determining sep...

End station for nanoscale magnetic materials study: combination of scanning tunneling microscopy and soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy.

We have constructed an end station for nanoscale magnetic materials study at the soft X-ray beamline HiSOR BL-14 at Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center. An ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was installed for an in situ characterization of nanoscale magnetic materials in combination with soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy experiment. The STM was conn...

Magnetic 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...

Magnetic dichroisms in absorption and photoemission for magnetic characterization in x-ray photoelectron emission microscopy

Magnetic contrast for the operation of a photoelectron emission microscope ~PEEM! with synchrotron radiation is provided by magnetic dichroisms. Besides the most frequently employed magnetic dichroism, magnetic circular dichroism in x-ray absorption spectroscopy, energy filtering of photoemitted electrons allows one to also use magnetic dichroisms in photoelectron emission as complementary cont...
