| | ID20 Magnetic Scattering Beamline — ESRF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | The very recent developments in coherent magnetic scattering, orbital ordering and magnetic surface experiments by the scientists of this beamline are just a few examples. |
 | | X-ray magnetic scattering complement the magnetic neutron scattering technique regarding sample size, Q-resolution, single magnetic domain studies, separation of angular and spin contributions to the magnetic moment, and magnetic ordering of non-suitable, highly neutron absorbing, compounds. |
 | | Large resonant enhancements of the scattering cross section may be observed when the incident photon energy is tuned close to an atomic absorption edge, e.g., the M4,5 edges of actinides, the L2,3 edges of rare earths, or the K edges of transition metals. |
