| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The X-ray mirror system was installed in the BL-6C experimental hatch of the Photon Factory, KEK, where various experiments on the resonant X-ray magnetic scattering (RXMS) become possible to study magnetic electrons with the focused X rays. A parabolic multilayer mirror was placed between the phase retarder and a high-precision AFC-5u four-circle diffractometer.
The weak RXMS signal of magnetite, Fe3O4, was measured at Fe K absorption edge. It becomes clear that ferrimagnetic magnetite has the energy dependency in resonant magnetic scattering factors, suggesting the existence of specific electron orbits for A and B crystallographic sites. Super exchange interaction possibly exists between a transition-metal atom and oxygen and more distant atoms. The Fourier analyses using the RXMS data give the magnetic electron-density distribution and the information on such hybrid orbits related to the electronic transition of Fe atoms.
