X-ray magnetic linear and circular dichroism at the Mn L2,3 edges are used to determine the magnetic<br> properties of epitaxial MnPt films on Fe100. The good agreement between experimental linear dichroism and<br> multiplet calculations reveals that the Mn spins are aligned in plane but perpendicularly to the underlying<br> in-plane Fe spins. The absence of magnetic circular dichroism rules out the presence of uncompensated Mn<br> spins at the interface.
