For the investigation of magnetic structures, neutron scattering is the established standard method. Much experience and experimental know‐how encourage approaching complex problems as well. On the other hand, since the beginning of the nineties the magnetic X‐ray scattering methods (MXS) have been applied as complementary tools to the magnetic neutron scattering (MNS). We present the application of different aspects of magnetic X‐ray scattering on R Cu 2 compounds as an example of its complementary nature to neutron scattering in the investigation of magnetism and discuss particular details of the magnetic X‐ray scattering.
