This work reports on measurements of the magnetic dichroism in photoemission from core levels and valence band of magnetised buried thin films. The high bulk sensitivity of hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy allows to study the magnetic multilayers. High resolution photoelectron spectroscopy was performed with an excitation energy of hν=7.938 keV. The circularly polarised photons were produced by an in-vacuum phase retarder at undulator BL-47XU beamline of SPring-8. The experiments were performed on exchange biased magnetic layers covered by insulators of 1 nm to 3 nm thickness. Two types of structures were used with the MnIr (10 nm) exchange bias layer either on top or below the ferromagnetic layer.
