ferromagnetism (FM) ferrimagnetismanti-ferromagnetism (AFM)

Magnetic materials:In some solids, individual ions have non vanishing average vector moments below a critical temperature. Such solids are called magnetically ordered.

If a solid exhibits a spontaneous magnetization, its ordered state is described as ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic. A solid with magnetic ordering has no spontaneous called antiferromagnetic.

Soft X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism in Absorption

Soft X-ray MCD in absorption providesa unique means to probe:

element-specific magnetic hysteresisorbital and spin momentsmagnetic coupling.

There are two ways to obtain a MCD spectrum:1) Fixing M, measure XAS with left and right

circular lights.2) Fixing the helicity of light, measure XAS with

two opposite directions of M.
