Abstract
Spin resolved resonant Raman scattering measurements in Gd metal made by exciting x‐ray resonant Raman scattering with circularly polarized x rays near the LIII edge of Gd are presented. The incident photon energy was fixed at the peak of the 2p→4f quadrupolar transition, and the scattered photon was energy analyzed around the 3d→2p fluorescent energy. Asymmetry ratios in the scattered intensity much larger than that of the LIII XMCD effect (x‐ray magnetic circular dichroism) were observed upon reversal of the magnetization of the sample or the helicity of the photon. A detailed comparison of these results with XMCD results from both the MIV,V edges and LIII edge of Gd metal will be discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
