Abstract
Magnetic domains on an Fe(100) surface have been imaged by means of en ergy-resolved photoemission microscopy. We excited the photoelectrons with circularly polarized synchrotron radiation in the soft x-ray regi on, and employed the effect of magnetic circular dichroism in the emit ted photoelectrons in order to obtain contrast between differently ori ented magnetic domains. This new approach offers a surface sensitive w ay to combine chemical and magnetic information on a microscopic scale .
