Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the magnetic linear dichroism in the core-level photoemission spectra of the binary alloys CoxNi1−x and FexNi1-x /Cu(100).These epitaxial films have fcc structures, but very different magnetic behaviors. We show that the x-ray magnetic linear dichroism in photoemission (XMLD) signal tracks the magnetization in these alloys. Comparison with recent SQUID data provides a quantitative check and endorses the view that XMLD monitors the element-specific magnetometry.

The element-specific asymmetry is calculated as the ratio of the difference spectrum over twice the mean peak height. We cannot use the expression I(up)- I(down)/I(up)+I(down) due to the concentration dependence of the 3p peak heights.
