Fig. 2: Spectroscopy characterizations of the AF LFO surface.

At RT on the LFO//LSAT (001) system, a typical XA spectra for LH (black) and LV (red) polarizations and the resulting XMLD (green). b XMLD-PEEM images of the surface. The horizontal images are obtained with the same σ sample position for four α X-ray polarization angles: 0° (LH), 30°, 60° and 90° (LV). The vertical images are obtained using a fixed incident X-rays polarization (LH) but varying the position of the sample; 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° clockwise in red, black, blue and green, respectively. Here, the white/dark scale represents the magnitude of the XMLD dichroic signal. In both cases, the incident beam is at a grazing angle of 16°.
