Abstract

Soft X-ray resonant magnetic scattering (SXRMS) was performed on a FePd alloy thin film at the L 3-edge of Fe. This film exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy giving rise to periodic alternation of up and down magnetisation domains with closure domains. Rocking curves performed in transverse geometry allowed us to measure the magnetic periodicity and correlation length of domains. Micromagnetic simulations of the FePd layers and SXRMS calculations were made to analyse the asymmetry ratio of magnetic satellite intensities, hence allowing us to quantify the magnetic anisotropy.
