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