ABSTRACTWe report on strong magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in 4f photoemission (PE) from Magnetized Gd(0001)/W(110) films. The shape of the 4f6–7FJ final-state PE Multiplet depends on the relative orientation between photon spin and sample magnetization and can be described within an atomic Model. The spectra rule out antiferromagnetic alignment of the (0001) surface layer and the bulk of Gd. This MCD in 4f-PE from rare-earth materials opens new perspectives in the analysis of surface and thin-film magnetism and as a sensor for circular polarization of soft x-rays.

Circular Dichroïsm

AbstractSoft-x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) is the difference between the absorptivity or reflectivity of left and right circularly polarized soft-x-rays at the magnetically interesting L2,3- edges of 3d transition metals or the M4,5-edges of the 4f rare earth elements. Thanks to its large absorption cross-section and strong MCD effect, this technique has become a powerful new means for probing, in an element- and site-specific manner, the magnetic properties of ultra-thin films and multilayers. Soft-x-ray MCD experiments, recently conducted at the Dragon beamline, are utilized to demonstrate the recent progress in this technique and its applications in the research of magnetic thin films.

The first XMCD measurements carried out on the ID24 energy-dispersive XAS beamline at the ESRF are reported. Circular-polarized X-rays are obtained using perfect diamond crystals as quarter-wave plates. The very small source divergence allows circular polarizations close to unity to be obtained.
