摘要
We show that the magnetization profile of magnetic patterns in thin films can be obtained by using circular dichroism to recover the phase relation in X-ray resonant magnetic scattering. This is demonstrated for single-crystalline FePd layers with striped magnetic domain pattern where we obtain unambiguous evidence for the presence of magnetic flux closure domains.
