Resonant soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet magnetic scattering in nanostructured magnetic materials: Fundamentals and directions

Abstract: Theoretical and practical aspects of resonant magnetic and charge scattering in the soft x-ray and extreme ultraviolet spectral range are reviewed. Intensity-only measurements are considered because they are more efficient than polarization-resolving measurements. Two very different approaches are discussed and compared; transmission small-angle scattering described by a simple kinematical scattering model and specular reflection described by more complex yet standard magneto-optical formalisms. In both cases … Show more

“…This has been exploited before, e.g., to characterize orientation and magnitude of magnetic moments with element, site, and depth sensitivity. 19,28 Using circularly polarized X-rays with a photon energy matching the magnetically dichroic Ni L 3 absorption resonance at 852.6 eV, we have recorded the two reflectivity curves corresponding to the two opposite in-plane magnetization directions within the scattering plane (see Fig. 1(a)).…”

“…While (non-resonant) X-ray reflectivity retrieves the charge density profile perpendicular to the sample surface, from which layer thickness and interface roughness can be retrieved, the magnetization depth profile becomes accessible when tuning the photon energy to a magnetically dichroic absorption resonance. [18][19][20][21] Employing XRMR as a probe technique in a time resolved IR pump -X-ray probe experiment, it is thus possible to retrieve in a single experiment both, ultrafast magnetization and structural dynamics. The general feasibility of such an experiment was recently demonstrated at BESSY arXiv:1701.01375v3 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci] 7 Dec 2017 with a time resolution of 70 ps.…”

“…Additionally, the L-edge T-MOKE experiment was applied to the investigation of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy energy of an ultra-thin transition metal (Co) film [84]. It should be noted that the T-RMOKE signal basically originates from pure-charge and pure-magnetic signals; however, when the angle of incidence is tuned to the Brewster angle, components of the charge scattering are suppressed, and a pure-magnetic signal can be obtained within this geometry [86,89,95].…”

“…The photon energy was tuned to the Co M 2,3 -edge at 59.6 eV (20.8 nm). At this energy, the magnetic layer's domain structure acts as an absorption grating due to the x-ray magnetic circular dichroism effect, giving rise to a resonant magnetic scattering signal [15][16][17].…”
