Automated analysis of particle beam measurement results is facilitated by a device that calculates a spatial parameter distribution representing spatial structure of a sample based on a scattering pattern corresponding to projection of the spatial structure of the sample to wavenumber space, the projection being obtained by detecting scattering of a particle beam which enters the sample and intersects with the sample. The device includes a section to provide estimates for signals on the scattering pattern in association with at which point on a spatial parameter distribution of the sample interactions occur during scattering; a section to aggregate estimation results of the interaction estimation section to calculate a spatial parameter distribution of a sample matching an aggregated result; and a section to perform alternately and repeatedly estimation in the interaction estimation section and calculation in the parameter distribution calculation section in order to improve estimation accuracy in spatial parameter distributions.

Particle beam experiment data analysis device

A magnetic measurement system includes an X-ray source, a monochromator that converts right- and left-polarization X-ray into right- and left-monochromatic X-ray, an aperture slit that allows the right- and left-monochromatic X-ray to pass through, an analytical section, and piezoelectric scanning devices. The analytical section has a Fresnel zone plate that receives and focuses the right- and left-monochromatic X-ray on a single point being 10 nm or less wide of a magnetic sample, an order-sorting aperture that allows the focused X-ray to selectively pass through, a sample-stage that sets a comparatively thick magnetic sample that is more than 150 nm thick and less than or equal to 1000 nm thick to be irradiated with the X-ray, and an X-ray-detector that detects transmittance of transmission X-ray passing through the comparatively thick sample and that generates X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) data by directly measuring the detected transmittance of the transmission X-ray.

Magnetic measurement system and apparatus utilizing X-ray to measure comparatively thick magnetic materials

A method, system and apparatus are provided to measure magnetic characteristics of a comparatively thick magnetic sample in a magnetic field or nonmagnetic field by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). In particular, the method, system and apparatus measure the magnetic characteristics of the thick magnetic sample by irradiating the sample with X-ray, and detecting transmissive X-ray passing through the sample.
