摘要：
Soft X-ray resonant magnetic scattering offers a unique element-, site- and valence- specific probe to study magnetic structures on the nanoscopic length scale. This new technique, which combines X-ray scattering with X-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism, is ideally suited to investigate magnetic superlattices and magnetic domain structures. The theoretical analysis of the polarization dependence to determine the vector magnetization profile is presented. This is illustrated with examples studying the closure domains in self-organising magnetic domain structures, the magnetic order in patterned samples, and the local configuration of magnetic nano-objects using coherent X-rays.
