Books in the Advances in Condensed Matter Science series

Presents the theoretical calculations, experimental data, and underlying physics of x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy (RXES). This book explains the many-body effects in XPS and XAS as well as several theories.

In materials where electrons show nearly localized behaviour, interaction between electrons plays a role in describing their electronic structure and the standard methods for the calculation of their electronic spectra based on the Local Density Approximation breakdown. This text describes approaches that go beyond the LDA.
