The magneto-optical Faraday effect on and
thin films was measured by analysing the polarisation of the
transmitted synchrotron radiation. The effect was investigated as
a function of photon energy, angle of incidence and magnetic-field
strength. Strong influences of the sample thickness,
protective layer and the type of support membrane were observed.
At the 2p absorption edges, resonantly enhanced rotation values
of up to 
were found which are one
order of magnitude larger than in the visible range. This
suggests a new modulation technique for polarisation-sensitive
spectroscopy and high-resolution microscopy experiments on
anti-ferromagnetic materials.
