Notes:
Although the sensitivity of x-ray scattering to magnetization densities has been known for many years, it was not until the calculations of Platzman and Tzoar and the experiments of de Bergevin and Brunel in the nineteen seventies that the possibility of x-ray magnetic scattering studies of solids was clearly recognized. Complementary to neutron magnetic scattering, x-ray magnetic scattering experiments especially benefit from the high q resolution and polarization and energy characteristics available from synchrotron radiation. In this talk, we describe the results of x-ray magnetic scattering studies in a variety of materials, including rare earths, actinides, and transition elements. We highlight some recent experiments that use resonant techniques, and indicate new directions in x-ray magnetic scattering studies of bulk materials, at surfaces, and in multilayers using existing and next-generation insertion device beamlines.
