Description
Summary:X-rays couple primarily to charge distributions but are sensitive also to magnetization densities. The magnetic X-ray scattering techniques can be exploited in a large variety of interesting problems in magnetism. Some experimental applications include the separation of orbital and spin momentum, high Q-resolution scattering studies and X-ray resonant scattering methods. Large resonant enhancements can be used to perform scattering experiments from weakly scattering samples such as thin films or surfaces. Even critical magnetic scattering can be observed in X-ray experiments. Magnetic X-ray resonant scattering is element and site sensitive. The conjunction of the X-ray magnetic scattering techniques and synchrotron radiation constitutes a very promising tool for further investigations of magnetic properties of materials.
