Abstract
We present calculations for the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in the ${3d}^{n}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{2p}^{5}{3d}^{n+1}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{3p}^{4}{3d}^{n+1}\ensuremath{\varepsilon}$ photoemission process in resonance with the $2p$ x-ray absorption from ferromagnetic Ni in perpendicular geometry (PG). The calculations are based on a coherent second-order optical process taking into account the intra-atomic multiplet and the configuration interaction. The MCD in PG at the ${L}_{3}$ edge is found to be in excellent agreement with the previous experimental results. At the excitation energy of the 4-eV and 6-eV satellites, the predicted MCD is strongly different, which should permit to assess the angular dependence of the intra-atomic Coulomb interaction.
