{wiki=X-ray_magnetic_circular_dichroism}
X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) is a powerful spectroscopic technique used to probe the magnetic properties of materials at the atomic scale. It utilizes circularly polarized X-rays to study the magnetic states of a sample, providing information about the electronic structure and the magnetic moments associated with different elements in a material. The principle behind XMCD is based on the interaction of circularly polarized X-rays with magnetic materials.
