Understanding magnetism: from neutrons to x-rays
The past: 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics: B. N. Brockhouse and C. G. Shull
Press release by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences:
``Neutrons are small magnets…… (that) can be used to study the relative orientations of the small atomic magnets. ….. the X-ray method has been powerless and in this field of application neutron diffraction has since assumed an entirely dominant position."
Bulk atomic and magnetic structuree.g. NiO
But: The new magnetic materials are not the bulk materials of old !

The paradigm shift in magnetism
-
from bulk to thin films and nanostructures

Space and Time: What is ultra-small and what is ultra-fast
Rule of thumb: the smaller the faster!

The Technology Problem in Magnetism: Smaller and Faster
The ultrafasttechnology gap
want to reliablyswitch smallmagnetic “bits”
X-rays combine nanometer spatial with picosecond time resolution
“seeing the ultrafast magnetic nanoworld”

What does it take to explore advanced magnetic materials and phenomena ?
General requirements: Technique requirements:
see the invisible nanoscale spatial resolution
separate spin and orbital contributions sensitive to s-o coupling
study thin films and interfaces large cross section for “signal”
look below the surface depth sensitivity
distinguish components elemental (chemical) specificity
resolve dynamic motions time resolution < 1 nanosecond
…. x-rays

What has been accomplished by x-rays ?
• Determination of element specific magnetic moments in thin films & at surfacesenhanced and quenched moments induced moments (e.g. C, O, Cu, Pd, Pt)
• Distinction of spin and orbital contributions
• Link of orbital moment anisotropy to magneto-crystalline anisotropy
• Improved understanding of interfacial magnetic couplingFM-FM: modification of Curie temperatureAFM-FM: origin of exchange bias
• Improved understanding of nanoscale magnetization dynamics < 100 psmotion and switching of magnetic vortices by external field pulsesswitching of nano-elements by spin currents
