Description

Magnetic x-ray scattering from thin Ho-metal films at M5 resonance reveals atomic scattering lengths up to 200r0--i.e., of the same order of magnitude as predicted theoretically by Hannon et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 1245 (1988)]. The photon-energy dependence of first- and second-order magnetic satellites allows a straightforward identification of circular and linear dichroic contributions. A direct comparison to magnetic neutron scattering demonstrates the potential of the method for studies of complex magnetic structures in ultrathin films and highly diluted materials
