We present expressions for the resonant magnetic X-ray scattering (XRMS) by surfaces possessing roughness and analyze both the structural and magnetic roughness of a surface, as well as their correlation. We demonstrate that the leading contribution to the difference (DI) in the diffuse scattering between left- and right-circularly polarized light for a rough surface vanishes unless the structural and magnetic roughnesses are correlated, to leading order in the magnetization. The effects of magnetic domain structure and magnetic dead layers on the surface scattering are also discussed.

Abstract
We present expressions for the resonant magnetic X-ray scattering (XRMS) by surfaces possessing roughness and analyze both the structural and magnetic roughness of a surface, as well as their correlation. We demonstrate that the leading contribution to the difference (DI) in the diffuse scattering between left- and right-circularly polarized light for a rough surface vanishes unless the structural and magnetic roughnesses are correlated, to leading order in the magnetization. The effects of magnetic domain structure and magnetic dead layers on the surface scattering are also discussed.File in questo prodotto:
