The bulk sensitivity of hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) in combination with circularly polarized radiation of the P09 beamline at PETRA III enables the investigation of the magnetic properties of capped films. We have determined the temperature dependence of the magnetic dichroism in the Fe 2p and in the Gd 3d states in amorphous Gd-Fe films. The magnetic dichroism reflects the stronger temperature dependence of Gd moments compared to Fe moments according to atomistic models. We resolved the exchange splitted Gd 3d5/2 sub states and found a significant temperature dependence of the splitting which is attributed to a temperature dependent exchange energy. Funded by COMATT.
