Magnetic Compton and Bragg Scattering Studies of Disordered Pd0.80Co0.20 Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have applied two kinds of experimental methods using elliptically polarized synchrotron X-rays, magnetic Compton and Bragg scattering experiments, to a single crystal of a disordered Pd0.80Co0.20 alloy, and have measured magnetic Compton profiles and magnetic form factors, respectively. The result of the Compton scattering experiment has shown that the electronic structure of Pd0.80Co0.20 is similar to that of Pd0.72Co0.28, and the spin moment has been evaluated. The result of the Bragg scattering experiment has reinforced that of the previous experiment [M. Ito et al.: Mater. Sci. Forum Vol. 459 (2011), p. 3.], and the spin moment estimated by the magnetic Bragg scattering has reproduced that by the magnetic Compton scattering. These results show that the joint study of the magnetic Compton and Bragg scattering provides a tool for investigating the magnetic property of alloys.
