Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in threshold PEEM enables imaging of in-plane and out-of-plane oriented ferromagnetic domains in real and momentum space [1, 2]. Here, we compare PEEM and ARPES data for Fe(100) and the oxygen-passivated Fe(100)-(1×1)-O. Imaging the in-plane domains we observe four different asymmetry levels, which we assign to the four magnetization vectors pointing in the high symmetry directions. The observed asymmetry values vary from 3% up to 5,5% comparing Fe(100)-(1×1)-O and Fe(100). The domain-specific momentum space measurements on Fe(100) are thereby in good agreement with relativistic photoemission calculations [2]. Through off-normal photoemission we increase the sensitivity of the method by one order of magnitude in comparison to previous reports [1].
