| Popis: | We have measured the resonant scattering from an antiferromagnetic Co/Cr multilayer at photon energies close to the cobalt 2p→3d transitions. The cobalt dielectric tensor has an anisotropic component, enhanced by resonance, which depends on the magnetic order and follows its modulation inside the sample. We have studied the vertical distribution of this component through the dependence of the reflectivity on the scattering angle. Using s-polarized light, we have observed the signature of the cobalt–cobalt antiferromagnetic coupling as an half-integer-order Bragg peak. Experimental results have been analyzed by numerical simulation. |
