Abstract

We report the use of soft X-ray resonant reflectivity at the Fe M2,3 edges to probe the magnetic circular dichroism of non-stoichiometric Fe3−δO4 thin films grown epitaxially on Al2O3. Photon energy scans of the magnetic dichroism display features that arise from the different Fe cation sites, with relative intensities that depend on the incident angle of the X-rays. Comparisons are made between the dichroism measured with this technique and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism calculated for the three Fe sites in magnetite.
