Abstract
The description of the electronic structure of magnetic transition metal systems by using the spin polarized relativistic linear-muffin-tin-orbital (SPRLMTO) method of band structure calculation leads to a very efficient and reliable way to calculate their magnetic X-ray dichroism (MXD) spectra. This is demonstrated by comparing results for the L2,3-spectra of pure Fe with spectra obtained using the numerically more accurate but computationally more demanding spin polarized relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (SPRKKR) method. © 1994.
