Physica Scripta T109, pp 89-95 (2004) The use of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in the absorption of soft X-rays
for the layer-resolved imaging of magnetic domains is introduced. A
photoelectron emission microscope, used as position-sensitive detector for
electron yield detection of resonant absorption of circularly polarized X-rays
at elemental absorption edges, enables the imaging of the magnetic
microstructures at surfaces and buried magnetic layers. Extended to full-image
local X-ray magnetic circular dichroism microspectroscopy, this combination of
techniques allows the local microscopic determination of element-resolved
spin and orbital magnetic moments.
