Figure 1
Schematic setup for nuclear resonant scattering with the polarization filtering method. The incoming radiation from the left is polarized by the first channel-cut crystal. Subsequently, the beam impinges on the magnetically anisotropic sample under investigation. The green arrow indicates the direction of the external magnetic field that induces optical activity via X-ray magnetic linear dichroism. The analyzer crystal in the crossed setting transmits only the photons which have undergone nuclear resonant σ- to π-scattering. |
