Circular and Linear Dichroism : Considerations and Options

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).
