X-ray resonant exchange scattering from 3d transition metal surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
The decay of the elastic X-ray intensity peak versus perpendicular transferred momentum is theoretically studied at energies close to the LII edge, for single crystal Fe surfaces and thin Fe films. For the single crystal surface, large intensity changes are observed upon reversal of the direction of the magnetisation. For thin Fe films, which are known to exhibit perpendicular magnetisation, analogous effects are predicted when, by raising the temperature, the magnetisation becomes in-plane. These changes are sensitive to both direction and magnitude of the surface magnetic moments, making this technique a powerful probe for studying the magnetic properties of 3d surfaces and interfaces.

Resonant x-ray scattering in 3d-transition-metal oxides: Anisotropy and charge orderings
The structural, magnetic and electronic properties of transition metal oxides reflect in atomic charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) allows us to perform an accurate investigation of all these electronic degrees. RXS combines high-Q resolution x-ray diffraction with the properties of the resonance providing information similar to that obtained by atomic s...

X-ray absorption and scattering spectroscopies involving the 3d transition-metal K- and L-edges have a long history in studying inorganic and bioinorganic molecules. However, there have been very few studies using the M-edges, which are below 100 eV. Synchrotron-based X-ray sources can have higher energy resolution at M-edges. M-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-...

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...

Determination of the ligand coordination number and symmetry of a transition metal ion is important to understand reaction mechanisms in inorganic chemistry. The problem can be addressed through diffraction techniques or by spectroscopy. Here we limit ourselves to the latter and note that, historically, the problem has been studied with UV/Vis, or optical absorption or electronic spectroscopy. ...

We have conducted the first soft x-ray diffraction experiments from a bulk single crystal, studying the bilayer manganite La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 with x=0.475 in which we were able to access the (002) Bragg reflection using soft x rays. The Bragg reflection displays a strong resonant enhancement at the L(III) and L(II) manganese absorption edges. We demonstrate that the resonant enhancement of the ma...
