Abstract

Magnetic X-Ray resonant scattering performed at the Dysprosium Lni absorption edge permits to study the magnetic behaviour of a 3000 Å thick Dy film. The development of an helical magnetic order gives rise to intense magnetic resonant harmonics. The energy dependence of the resonant intensity has been investigated and presents a double resonance at the second harmonic measured in the σ-π geometry. The accurate thermal variation of the turn angle and of the c-parameter is given. These evolutions reveal the stabilisation of the helical phase in the Dysprosium film compared to the bulk case.
