CXMD data for 2 ML Gd/Fe(100) at the Gd L2-edge, obtained from the TEY at a sample temperature of 243 K. The photon energy is referenced to the inflection point of the absorption edge (7930 eV) which is displayed in the lower part of the two panels. The normalized spin-dependent absorption coefficient μc/μ0 is shown in the upper right panel. For comparison, the unscaled value, μc, is also shown (upper left panel) because there the CXMD is better visible. The thick line shows the result of a transmission measurement of a Gd foil at 123 K. It is scaled by a factor of −0.22. In the evaluation of μc/μ0 the photon polarization (50%) and the angle between sample magnetization and photon spin (50°) have been taken into account. |
