Multi-frame acquisition scheme for efficient energy-dispersive X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in pulsed high magnetic fields at the Fe K-edge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a fast silicon strip detector, a multi-frame acquisition scheme was implemented to perform energy-dispersive X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the iron K-edge in pulsed high magnetic fields. The acquisition scheme makes use of the entire field pulse. The quality of the signal obtained from samples of ferrimagnetic erbium iron garnet allows for quantitative evaluation of the signal amplitude. Below the compensation point, two successive field-induced phase transitions and the reversal of the net magnetization of the iron sublattices in the intermediate phase were observed.

XMCD under pressure at the Fe K edge on the energy-dispersive beamline of the ESRF.
The present paper demonstrates the feasibility of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at high pressure at the Fe K edge on the ID24 energy-dispersive beamline of the ESRF. In 3d transition metals, performing experiments at the hard X-ray K edge rather than at the magnetically interesting soft X-ray L edges represents the only way to access the high-p...

We present first experimental results of the extension of X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (X-MCD) to Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). The purpose of this study is to determine size distributions and correlations lengths in the nanometer range of magnetic precipitates in granular systems. Magnetic scattering curves obtained with a GdFe system at the Gd La edge are compared with reference m...
متن کاملMagnetic instabilities in Fe3C cementite particles observed with Fe K-edge x-ray circular dichroism under pressure.
The ferromagnetic interstitial iron compound Fe(3)C (cementite) is expected to have Invar properties, whereby a high-moment to low-moment transition should occur when the atomic volume is reduced below a critical value. We, therefore, examine the pressure dependence of the Fe K-edge x-ray magnetic circular dichroism in Fe(3)C at ambient temperature and pressures up to 20 GPa. We find clear evid...

An implementation of the multiple-scattering approach to x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) in K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy is presented. The convergence problems due to the cluster size and the relativistic corrections are solved using an expansion of the Dirac Green function for complex energies up to the second order in 1/c. The Fermi energy is dealt with via a complex plane in...

We report on the measurement of element-specific magnetic resonance spectra at gigahertz frequencies using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). We investigate the ferrimagnetic precession of Gd and Fe ions in Gd-substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet, showing that the resonant field and linewidth of Gd precisely coincide with Fe up to the nonlinear regime of parametric excitations. The opposite s...
