Magneto-Optical Functions at the 3p resonances of Fe, Co, and Ni: Ab-initio description and experiment

Abstract

We present theoretical and experimental data on the magneto-optical contributions to the complex refractive index in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) range covering the 3p resonances of Fe, Co, and Ni. Comparing the spectra from density functional theory with magnetic circular dichroism measurements we find that many body corrections and local field efects are of crucial importance for accurate description of the spectra. Our results are relevant for the application of static XUV spectroscopy for multi element magnetic systems as well as for the investigation of ultrafast magnetization dynamics.
