contents We present evidence that the detection of surface magnetism without the application of an external magnetic field is possible by studying the x-ray emission of highly charged ions interacting at grazing incidence with the sample. Measuring the 3 keV $n=2 \to 1$ transition in the interaction of Ar\textsuperscript{17+} with a nickel sample at various temperatures gives access to the $n=2$ ion population. The latter evolves from a half-filled to a full shell during the ferro-paramagnetic phase transition of the sample, with the ferromagnetic phase reflecting the filling blocking due to Pauli principle. This finding puts an end to a longstanding controversy arising from contradictory studies of ion--surface interaction using Auger spectroscopy.
