Abstract
There has been a recent rapid increase in interest in the measurement of so ft X-ray magnetic scattering (SoXMaS) to characterize the distribution of m agnetic moments in thin films and multilayers. The Daresbury Laboratory tea m has adapted a high-vacuum two-circle diffractometer for pioneering measur ements in this field, The principal features of the diffractometer and the alignment procedure for SoXMaS measurements are presented. A flexible data acquisition system is used, which allows a wide variety of scan modes and c ontrol of the various beamlines on which the experiments have been performe d.
