Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
At present the theory of Magnetic X-Ray Scattering (MXRS) is an interesting piece of physics. In this proposal I am intending to transform the theory into a tool that can be used routinely and easily to interpret MXRS experiments and hence to understand the electronic structure of magnetic materials at a more fundamental level than has hitherto been possible. This work will proceed along two-paths.1. To interpret these experiments quantitatively we require an accurate description of the electronic structure of the material. Therefore we intend to generalise our present codes to make them self-consistent within density functional theory with a surface geometry. We also hope to extend the range of materials that can be treated using these methods to include rare earth by including Self-Interaction Corrections in our self-consistency cycle.2. We intend to take our working code for the MXRS spectra and the relativistic KKR-CPA and calculate from that two-inpurity scattering path operators which will enable us to examine what MXRS can tell us about magnetic and compositional correlation functions.
