An apparatus for measuring soft X-ray magnetic scattering

There has been a recent rapid increase in interest in the measurement of soft X-ray magnetic scattering (SoXMaS) to characterize the distribution of magnetic moments in thin films and multilayers.

Description
Summary:There has been a recent rapid increase in interest in the measurement of soft X-ray magnetic scattering (SoXMaS) to characterize the distribution of magnetic moments in thin films and multilayers. The Daresbury Laboratory team has adapted a high-vacuum two-circle diffractometer for pioneering measurements in this field. The principal features of the diffractometer and the alignment procedure for SoXMaS measurements are presented. A flexible data acquisition system is used, which allows a wide variety of scan modes and control of the various beamlines on which the experiments have been performed.
