Abstract

It is demonstrated how circularly polarized x-rays can be used in nuclear and solid state physics. Detection of the radiation pattern of circularly polarized x-rays emitted in highly converted decays of oriented radio isotopes allows the determination of nuclear magnetic moments. Studying the absorption profiles of energy-tunable intense circularly polarized x-rays emitted from high-energy electron storage rings provides a powerful method to determine spin structure of electronic states, local magnetic moments and magnetic short range order in ferromagnetic materials.
