An internet-based synchrotron experiment for students measuring the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism of a PtFe alloy.
A new internet-based synchrotron experiment for students is presented. A polarimeter and computer software have been developed for measuring via the internet the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism of PtFe around its Pt L(II) and L(III) absorption edges. From the experiment, students can examine the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism of a thin PtFe foil utilizing circular-polarized synchrotron radiation emitted by the superconducting asymmetric wiggler at the synchrotron radiation source DELTA of the University of Dortmund.
