Abstract

Helical x rays carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) are a promising addition to x-ray characterization techniques. Here, the authors study x-ray beams with OAM that are created by scattering from a topological defect in an artificial antiferromagnet. Helicity- and polarization-dependent x-ray scattering is used to distinguish two degenerate real-space magnetic configurations of the antiferromagnetic lattice --- information that is usually inaccessible in scattering experiments with a Gaussian beam. This demonstrates the potential to use helical x rays for materials characterization.
