Studying the magnetic and electronic properties of matter by exploiting polarization-dependent X-ray diffraction is a growing field in physics.
It is part of Extreme Conditions Research and in particular is focused on studies of polycrystalline, amorphous and single crystal materials.
Methods of study include X-ray diffraction at elevated pressures and temperatures using the techniques of laser or resistive heated Diamond Ancil Cells (DAC).
In the measurement of element-specific magnetic moment, use is made of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and high-resolution X-ray diffraction simultaneously with the measurement of various macroscopic properties (magnetization, volume changes, magnetocaloric properties) in beamline project (I.e ESFR).
