We have observed a new type of magnetic linear dichroism in angle-reso
lved, spin-integrated photoemission: For p-polarized light under obliq
ue incidence the Fe 3p core level peak position and line shape change
when the sample magnetization is reversed. Spin-resolved measurements
show that the effect is due to spin-orbit interaction in the presence
of exchange interaction. The effect can be used for chemically specifi
c diagnostics of magnetic structures.
