Abstract
We measured the temperature dependence of the Magnetic Circular X-ray Dichroism (MCXD) effect at the Gd LIII absorption edge from 77 K up to 350 K, using an energy dispersive spectrometer. The low temperature, ferromagnetic region, MCXD spectrum consists of the main positive peak with pre-edge and post-edge features. Only the main positive peak exhibits temperature dependence similar to magnetization. All of the other features decrease with increasing temperature and vanish slightly above the reorientation temperature. Well above the ordering temperature, the MCXD consists only of the positive peak with a post-edge background slowly decaying away from it over the range of 90 eV.
