Schematic setup of the magnetic scattering experiment.

Caption

Figure 1: Schematic setup of the magnetic scattering experiment. A very intense pulsed laser in the infrared range is focused onto a rotating tungsten cylinder. The generated plasma emits soft X-rays over a very wide spectral range, see source spectrum. Using a reflective zone plate, a selected fraction of this light is collected and sent through a slit onto the sample under investigation. The scattered light from the sample is detected by a camera. The structure of the investigated artificial antiferromagnet is sketched in the top-right corner.
