Abstract: The transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect (T-MOKE) in the soft X-ray regime is used to investigate the magnetic properties of ultrathin epitaxial Fe(110) films and thermally created epitaxial Fe islands on W(110). The measurements have been carried out at the Fe 2p core levels with tunable, linearly polarized synchrotron radiation. Besides the chemical selectivity T-MOKE at core levels is characterized by a much larger sensitivity compared to the visible regime. We have analyzed the transition from thin films to a three-dimensional island system at a thickness of 4 ML and the magnetic behavior when increasing the iron coverage to 8 ML. The Fe island system is characterized by a rotation of the easy magnetization axis in this coverage regime.
