Abstract
Magnetic dichroism has been observed in the angular distributions of F e 2p photoemission spectra excited from Fe(001) by unpolarized 1.25-ke V x rays. The dichroism varies strongly around each low-index forward- scattering direction in the crystal, exhibiting an antisymmetry with e mission direction and binding energy that is centred on each forward s cattering peak. Photoelectron diffraction theory provides a quantitati ve explanation for these unpolarized dichroism effects, which should a lso be generally useful in surface magnetism studies.
