“…M-H loops and two-dimensional macroscopic magnetic domain images were observed with a longitudinal Kerr magnetometer and an optical surface analyzer utilizing magnet-optic Kerr effect, respectively. XAS and MCD spectra at the Fe, Co and Ni L 2,3 edges were measured at glazing incidence, 45°, adapting a total electron yield method at the soft X-ray beamline BL23SU [7,8] at SPring-8, Japan. For saturating magnetization of the SULs, another external dc magnetic field of ca.…”
