Resonant magnetic Bragg polarimeter

The theoretical formulae for the relative change in the x-ray scattering intensity from a ferromagnetic material upon the magnetization reversal are derived for three particular cases of the magnetization direction with the model where the magnetization dependence arises from the resonant magnetic scattering of electric dipole transitions under no crystal field. With illustrating the numerical results, the prospects for the application of the resonant magnetic scattering to the x-ray polarimetry are discussed.
