A REVIEW OF MAGNETIC X-RAY EFFECTS
M.J. COOPERDepartment of Physics, University of Warwick, GE-Coventry CV4 7AL, Great-Britain
Abstract
The existence of spin-dependent terms in the photon-electron scattering cross-section was confirmed many years ago but these effects remained unexploited until the advent of the present generation of bright X-ray synchrotrons. Recently Compton scattering and photoabsorption studies of spin-dependent densities have been made with circularly polarised synchrotron radiation and diffraction studies of antiferromagnets with the dominant linearly polarised component. In this paper the scattering theory will be summarised, recent experiments reviewed and future prospects discussed.
