"From fundamental aspects to recent developments. Core Level Spectroscopy of Solids presents the theoretical calculations, experimental data, and underlying physics of core level spectroscopies. This includes x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy (RXES). The book explains the many-body effects in XPS and XAS, where special attention is given to charge transfer, crystal field, and multiplet effects, Charge transfer multiplet theory combines these effects into a single theoretical approach that can be used to interpret XPS, XAS, and all other core level spectroscopies of systems, including transition metal and rare earth elements."--BOOK JACKET.
