Resonant magnetic scattering from 5f magnetic materials (invited)

Over the last five years, the large resonant enhancements of the magnetic x-ray scattering amplitudes at the MIV and MV absorption edges of actinide materials (U, Np) have been exploited in a series of magnetic diffraction investigations at the National Synchrotron Light Source. This work is reviewed with a discussion of measurements on a series of antiferromagnetic materials with contrasting magnetic properties, UAs, USb, U0.85Th0.15Sb, UO2, URu2Si2, and NpAs.
