Electronic Structure And X-Ray Spectroscopy Of Cu2mnal1-Xgax

We explore the electronic and related properties of Cu2MnAl1-xGax with a first-principles, relativistic multiscattering Green function approach. We discuss our results in relation to existing experimental data and show that the electron-core hole interaction is essential for the description of the optical spectra especially in describing the X-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectra at the L-2,L-3 edges of Cu and Mn.
