We measured circular dichroism in resonant x-ray scattering 3dn → 2p53dn+1l → 3s13dn+1 with incidence perpendicular to the magnetization where the absorption dichroism vanishes. The advantages of photon scattering over other techniques make it possible to study a wide range of materials. The Ni L3 dichroism in NiFe2O4 is (28 ± 5)% in agreement with a localized model. In the metal Co the dichroism is reduced to (10.4 ± 1)% (L3) and (6.8 ± 1.5)% (7.5 eV above L3), indicating a large sensitivity to the nature of the valence states despite the fact that this spectroscopy is based on inner shell transitions.

Abstract
We measured circular dichroism in resonant x-ray scattering 3dn → 2p53dn+1l → 3s13dn+1 with incidence perpendicular to the magnetization where the absorption dichroism vanishes. The advantages of photon scattering over other techniques make it possible to study a wide range of materials. The Ni L3 dichroism in NiFe2O4 is (28 ± 5)% in agreement with a localized model. In the metal Co the dichroism is reduced to (10.4 ± 1)% (L3) and (6.8 ± 1.5)% (7.5 eV above L3), indicating a large sensitivity to the nature of the valence states despite the fact that this spectroscopy is based on inner shell transitions.File in questo prodotto:
