Spin — Orbit-Influenced Spectroscopies of Magnetic Solids

For practitioners and scientists (including those working in industry) this book reviews for the first time a new and rapidly developing field of investigation: magnetic solids with polarized photons. Experimental and theoretical fundamentals and recent advances, and new aspects on a variety of methods are reported.
