Advanced Magnetic Spectroscopy
The Advanced Light Source offers several "brilliant" state of the art elliptical undulator as well as excellent bending magnet sources for soft x-ray spectroscopy of magnetic materials. Polarization-dependent soft x-ray spectroscopy is an excellent tool to investigate the properties of complex magnetic systems since the optical properties of magnetic materials at core level resonances carry unique and element specific information, for example about the spin and orbital magnetic moment of each element. This workshop intends to bring together current and prospective users of magnetic spectroscopy endstations at the Advanced Light Source. In a series of contributed talks we will summarize the current status of the program at the ALS and furthermore identify forefront problems in magnetism research to which soft x-ray spectroscopy can provide a unique contribution.
