X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism  

Kim, Jae-Young (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, POSTECH)
Abstract
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) has been used as an important tool of magnetics due to its unique abilities to measure element-specific magnetic properties and to separate the orbital and the spin magnetic moments. These abilities allow researchers to access the microscopic origin of the magnetic properties of transition metal and rare earth compounds. In this report, I explain the principle of XMCD and the experimental set-up. Recent a few research examples using XMCD will be also introduced.
Keywords
