The magnetic structure of EuFe_2As_2 determined by RXS

Magnetic resonant X ray scattering experiments have been performed on a single crystal of EuFe_2As_2 at the Eu L_3 absorption edge. This has permitted us to determine for the first time the orientation of Eu magnetic moments in the antiferromagnetic ordered phase below T_N=19 K as parallel to the a-axis. In addition, non-resonant magnetic X ray measurements indicate that Fe magnetic moments align along the same direction in the spin density wave phase (T
