Magnetic dichroism in reflectivity and photoemission using linearly polarized light: 3p core level of Ni(110)

We performed magnetic dichroism measurements on a Ni(110) single crystal, combining the techniques of resonant reflectivity and photoemission at the Ni 3p edges using linearly polarized synchrotron radiation. The experimental Ni 3p core-level spectra are compared to calculated results obtained using an Anderson impurity model. Resonant-reflectivity data show a magnetic dichroism well beyond the edge, in agreement with the calculations, giving the expected angular dependence. Calculated and experimental dichroism spectra agree well in terms of line shape for both reflectivity and photoemission, while discrepancies are observed in terms of absolute intensities
