Abstract

We have measured magnetic Compton scattering (MCS) for an Fe/MgO multilayer film at several magnetic field applying perpendicular to film plane. A spin specific magnetic hysteresis (SSMH) loop is obtained by the MCS for the Fe/MgO multilayer film. A knickpoint is observed in the SSMH loop around the magnetic field of 0.5 T. Orbital magnetization is enhanced within the magnetic field from -0.5 T to 0.5 T. A decomposition analysis for magnetic Compton profiles shows the suppressed |m|=0 states and enhanced |m|=1 and 2 states within the magnetic field from -0.5 T to 0.5 T. Here m denotes magnetic quantum number. The knickpoint corresponds to a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which comes from the enhanced |m|=1 and 2 state and orbital magnetization in the Fe/MgO multilayer.
