Magnetic spectromicroscopy from Fe(100)

Magnetic domains on an Fe(100) surface have been imaged by means of energy‐resolved photoemission microscopy. We excited the photoelectrons with circularly polarized synchrotron radiation in the soft x‐ray region, and employed the effect of magnetic circular dichroism in the emitted photoelectrons in order to obtain contrast between differently oriented magnetic domains. This new approach offers a surface sensitive way to combine chemical and magnetic information on a microscopic scale
