X-ray resonant (or anomalous) diffraction specificity is related to the close relationship
between scattering, absorption, and refraction. Resonant scattering (or dispersion) refers to …

Measuring the magnetic configuration at complex buried layers and interfaces is an
important task, which requires especially a non-destructive probing technique. X-ray …

Resonant magneto-optical properties of Fe are considered across its 2 p core levels.
General equivalence of the classical magneto-optical formalism (dielectric tensor) and the …

The Pt magnetization depth profile at a single buried Pt/Co interface was investigated by x-
ray resonant magnetic reflectivity measurements. The asymmetry as function of angle of …

An overview of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy in the hard X-ray
range is presented. A short historical overview shows how this technique has evolved from …

The theoretical formulation of x-ray resonant magnetic scattering from rough surfaces and
interfaces is given for specular reflectivity. A general expression is derived for both …

The unique properties of synchrotron radiation, such as broad energy spectrum, variable
light polarization, and flexible time structure, have made it an enormously powerful tool in …

Using soft-x-ray resonant magnetic scattering in combination with first-principles calculations
for noncollinear magnetic configurations we present a new model of the magnetism in …

Few books exist that cover the hot field of second-generation spintronic devices, despite
their potential to revolutionize the IT industry. Compiling the obstacles and progress of spin …

We report on the design and construction of a new diffractometer for soft x-ray resonant
magnetic scattering which has been built at the Ruhr-University Bochum. The ultrahigh …
