Abstract
ABSTRACTX-ray fluorescence spectra from magnetized iron excited by circularly polarized synchrotron radiation are reported. The Fe L2.3 emission band gives rise to a distinct dichroic signal in confirmation of a recent theoretical prediction. These preliminary experiments carried out with “white” and only partially circularly-polarized synchrotron radiation nevertheless reveal an asymmetry which reflects the spin polarization of the Fe 3d valence electrons. The usefulness of developing specialized high flux circularly-polarized sources is clearly established.
