Circular & Linear Dichroism

This book provides readers with the latest developments in circular and linear dichroism research. Topics covered include the visible circular and linear magnetic dichroism in manganite thin films; the optical and energetic contributions of DNA secondary motifs to the trombin aptamer quadruplex and a review of the current theoretical understanding of the x-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism (XMCD, XLD) of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS).
