Abstract
The discovery of magnetic dichroism in core level spectroscopy opened the route to magnetic domain imaging. By employing light in the soft X -ray regime one obtains chemically specific information. Besides the c ommonly used circular magnetic dichroism (MCD), we demonstrate feasibi lity of using linear magnetic dichroism in absorption for domain imagi ng in the photo electron emission microscope (PEEM). By combining diff erent light polarizations, one obtains vectorial information on the ma gnetic moment distribution close to the surrface.
