title: Application of magnetic Compton scattering for spin-specific magnetic hysteresis measurement.
abstract: An application of magnetic Compton scattering as a new tool to measure a spin-specific magnetic hysteresis (SSMH) loop is introduced and its validity demonstrated. The applied magnetic field dependence of the integrated intensity of magnetic Compton scattering spectra, which reflect only the spin-dependent magnetic properties of magnetically active electrons, was interpreted as the spin-specific hysteresis. The spin magnetization of amorphous Tb(33)Co(67) film was observed and its SSMH loop exhibited qualitative agreement with the ordinal magnetic hysteresis loop measured using a conventional vibrating sample magnetometer.
