Magnetic form factors of ferromagnetic iron by X-ray diffraction

Abstract The ratios of magnetic to charge form factors have been measured for 11 reflections in ferromagnetic α-iron by diffraction of synchrotron radiation. A novel white-beam single-crystal approach has produced data of a comparable auality to early polarized neutron work, and it seems likely that this techniaue will become a valuable new tool for studying ferromagnets.
