Imaging Magnetic Thin Films Using Resonant X-Ray Scattering Tevfik Onur Mentes, Imaging Magnetic Thin Films Using Resonant X-Ray Scattering Nov. 24th , 2003 Magnetic domains in a Co/Pt multilayer. Image taken by MFM, courtesy of Olav Hellwig, IBM, Almaden. Imaging magnetic domain structures at nanometer length scales by, Cobalt L(2,3) (2p3d) resonances Speckle Patterns + Resonant Scattering (intensity variations (strong enhancement in the diffraction pattern in the magnetic scattering of a non-periodic cross-section.) object illuminated Hannon et al, PRL 61, by a plane wave.) 1245 (1988). See Mentes et al, J. Sync. Rad. 9, 90 (2002). X-rays at the synchrotron facilities from high brightness undulator sources. Systems of interest: magnetic multilayers and alloys (transition metal / rare earth, etc.), mesoscopic “texture” in manganites, ordered (“striped”) phases in strongly correlated electron systems, etc... In addition to imaging, study domain dynamics at various time scales, using speckle correlations. Experiments carried out at X1B beamline, NSLS, BNL, and ID-4C beamline of APS, ANL.
