title: X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in UGe(2): first-principles calculations.
abstract: The electronic structure and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra of UGe(2) at the U N(4,5), N(2,3) and Ge K and L(2,3) edges are investigated theoretically from first principles, using the fully relativistic spin-polarized Dirac linear muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) band structure method. The electronic structure is obtained with the local spin-density approximation (LSDA), as well as the LSDA+U method. The origin of the XMCD spectra in the compound is examined.
