Resonant and non-resonant x-ray scattering is an element specific, nondestructive, powerful tool for the investigations of various exotic orderings such as charge density waves, spin density waves, orbital ordering, and magnetic ordering, occurring in correlated electronmaterials. In this presentation I will first give an introduction to the concept of resonant and non-resonant magnetic x-ray scattering, experimental setup and essential theoretical background. Second part of the presentation will be focused on results of x-ray scattering
investigations of magnetic orderings, and correlations between magnetic & orbital orderings in selected type-II multiferroics.
