The magnetic structure of nanoscale alloy films has been probed using the magnetic x-ray linear dichroism in photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetic x-ray circular dichroism in x-ray absorption spectroscopy. FeNi and CoFe epitaxial films were grown on Cu(001), {ital in} {ital situ} and using MBE techniques. Because soft x-rays were used to probe the 2{ital p} and 3{ital p} core levels, both elemental selectivity and magnetic sensitivity were achieved simultaneously. Correlation of these magnetic techniques with compositional and structural information will be done. Ultimately, from studies such as this a complete determination of the structure-property relationships will be achievable. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Vacuum Society}
