Bücher der Reihe Advances in Condensed Matter Science

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.

Presenting the current level of understanding of the structural, electronic and optical properties of amorphous semiconductors, this monograph presents a comprehensive review of both experimental and theoretical studies.

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.
