Abstract: In this tutorial a short introduction on the different XMCD measurement methods and typical experimental pitfalls will be presented, including the application of so called ‘Sum Rules’ for the quantitative determination of atomistic spin- and orbital-magnetic moments. Some examples will be given, hopefully providing an somewhat intuitive understanding. At the end recent static and dynamic XMCD based microscopy results will be shown including high resolution ptychography.

The talk can be followed in live broadcast via Webex and questions can be asked during the talk via a chat function or live afterwards. All microphones and cameras of the participants are muted during the lecture and are separatly open after the lecture to ask specific questions. For those who cannot attend the live broadcast, the lecture will be recorded, except for the participants' questions at the end of the lecture.
