Abstract
Highly monochromatic circularly polarized soft x‐rays are obtained by a simple adaptation of the AT&T Bell Laboratories Dragon beamline to collect synchrotron radiation above an below the storage ring orbit plane. This is demonstrated by the observation of a large magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) effect at the L2,3 absorption edges of ferromagnetic Fe, Co, and Ni. Photoabsorption measurements on ferrites with spinel and garnet structure are also presented, and used to show that MCD measurements allow to determine the presence and the orientation of magnetic moments on specific atoms in compounds.Keywords
