Abstract

Abstract- X-ray polarization-contrast images arising from x-ray magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) in hard xray spectral range have been recorded in an iron-rich metal-particulate (MP) magnetic recording medium for the first time employing an interesting optical system: polarization switching optics. The contrast of 0.06/0 between 90-degree magnetic domains, which were made artificially on the sample, was clearly observed at photon energy of 1 eV above the iron K-absorption edge.
