چکیده
27 IMR KINKEN Research Highlights 2009 Innovative Electronic Materials A novel tool to evaluate a site and element selective magnetic moment has been developed by combining synchrotron radiation and high magnetic fields. X-ray magnetic circular dichrosim: XMCD is a key method for spintronics materials, however, had been limited in ferromagnets. The present technique breaks this limitation and realizes the “XMCD for any magnet”.

متن کاملA Full Field Transmission X-ray Microscope as a tool for High-Resolution Magnetic Imaging
The XM-1 soft x-ray microscope is a user-dedicated facility located at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and has recently been established as a tool for high-resolution imaging of magnetic domains. It is a conventional full field transmission microscope which is able to achieve a resolution of 25 nm by using high-presicion zone plates. It uses off-axis bend magn...
متن کاملUltrafast 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...
متن کاملOctupole Magnet For Soft X Ray Magnetic Dichroism Experiments: Design and Performance
An octupole magnet endstation for soft x ray magnetic dichroism measurements has been developed at the Advanced Light Source. The system consists of an eight pole electromagnet that surrounds a small vacuum chamber. The magnet provides fields up to 0.9 T that can be applied in any direction relative to the incoming x ray beam. High precision magnetic circular and linear dichroism spectra can be...
متن کاملSurface aligned magnetic moments and hysteresis of an endohedral single-molecule magnet on a metal.
The interaction between the endohedral unit in the single-molecule magnet Dy_{2}ScN@C_{80} and a rhodium (111) substrate leads to alignment of the Dy 4f orbitals. The resulting orientation of the Dy_{2}ScN plane parallel to the surface is inferred from comparison of the angular anisotropy of x-ray absorption spectra and multiplet calculations in the corresponding ligand field. The x-ray magneti...
