| The basic properties of magnetism depend strongly on the spin and orbital components of magnetization. Information about the magnetic moments can be gained using new techniques, like X-ray magnetic circular dichroism or Compton scattering, developed at third-generation synchrotron sources. After a brief introduction to the basic principles of these new magnetic tools, examples of experiments on 5f-electron based systems are presented. |
