Description
Summary:Spin resolved resonant Raman scattering measurements in Gd metal made by exciting x-ray resonant Raman scattering with circularly polarized x rays near the LIII edge of Gd are presented. The incident photon energy was fixed at the peak of the 2p→4f quadrupolar transition, and the scattered photon was energy analyzed around the 3d→2p fluorescent energy. Asymmetry ratios in the scattered intensity much larger than that of the LIII XMCD effect (x-ray magnetic circular dichroism) were observed upon reversal of the magnetization of the sample or the helicity of the photon. A detailed comparison of these results with XMCD results from both the MIV,V edges and LIII edge of Gd metal will be discussed.
