Abstract

Two alternative geometries are proposed for x-ray magneto-optical (MO)spectroscopy with linearly polarized light in photon-in/photon-out reflectionexperiments, without sophisticated polarization analysis of the reflected x-rayradiation. One of the geometries yields an MO effect that is odd in the magnetizationM,i.e., to first order linear in . The other geometry yields a magneto-x-ray effect that is even inM,i.e., to lowest order proportional to . This second MO effect is a promising tool for the x-ray reflection spectroscopy ofantiferromagnets. The applicability of these spectroscopies is demonstrated by experimentalresults.
