Quantitative measurement of magnetic parameters by electron magnetic chiral dichroism

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/27/5/056801

Abstract Electron magnetic circular dichroism opens a new door to explore magnetic properties by transmitted electrons in the transmission electron microscope. However, obtaining quantitative magnetic parameters, such as spin and orbital magnetic moment with element-specificity, goes a long way along with the development and improvement of this technique both in theoretical and experimental aspects. In this review, we will give a detailed description of the quantitative electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) technique to measure magnetic parameters with spin-specificity, element-specificity, site-specificity, and orbital-spin-specificity. The discussion completely contains the procedures from raw experimental data acquisition to final magnetic parameters, together with the related custom code we have developed.

Keywords: quantitative electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) technique dynamical diffraction effects spin and orbital magnetic moment
