Abstract:
A method is presented to calculate the natural circular dichroism recently discovered in the X-ray range (XNCD). The basic formula represents XNCD as an odd second-rank tensor and leads to a sum rule that relates XNCD to the mixing of odd and even orbitals in the ground state. A multiple-scattering theory of XNCD is presented, and calculated spectra for the L-edges of iodine in LiIO3 compare favorably with the experiments.
