Abstract

A fully relativistic theory for magnetic X-ray dichroism is presented that is based on the Dirac equation for spin-polarised systems and relativistic multiple-scattering theory. This scheme allows one to treat not only translation-invariant solids but can also be applied to disordered alloys and surfaces. An application of the theoretical formalism is presented for a variety of systems, i.e. pure elements, multilayer systems and trilayer systems.
