The two-dimensional Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y (Bi2212), the most studied prototype cuprate superconductor, is a lamellar system made of a stack of two-dimensional corrugated CuO2 bilayers separated by Bi2O2+ySr2O2 layers. While the large majority of theories, proposed to interpret unconventional high Tc superconductivity in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y, assume a centrosymmetric tetragonal CuO2 lattice for the [CuO2]Ca[CuO2] bilayer here we report new compelling results providing evidence for local noncentrosymmetric structure at the Cu site. We have measured polarized Cu K-edge XANES (x-ray absorption near edge structure) and the K-edge X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) of a Bi2212 single crystal near optimum doping. The Cu K edge XMCD signal was measured at ID12 beamline of ESRF with the k-vector of x-ray beam parallel to c-axis i.e. with the electric field of x-ray beam E//ab, using a 17 T magnetic field parallel to the c-axis of a Bi2212 single crystal. Numerical simulations of the XMCD signal of Bi2212 by multiple scattering theory have shown agreement with the experimental XMCD signal only for the local structure with noncentrosymmetric Bb2b space group of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y.

We have studied the local electronic structure of LaMn0.5Co0.5O3 using soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co-L_3,2 and Mn-L_3,2 edges. We found a high-spin Co^{2+}--Mn^{4+} valence state for samples with the optimal Curie temperature. We disco
vered that samples with lower Curie temperatures contain low-spin nonmagnetic Co^{3+} ions. Using soft-x-ray magnetic circular dichroism we established that the Co^{2+} and Mn^{4+} ions are ferromagnetically aligned. We revealed also that the Co^{2+} ions have a large orbital moment: m_orb/m_spin ~ 0.47. Together with model calculations, this suggests the presence of a large magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the material and predicts a non-trivial temperature dependence for the magnetic susceptibility.
An efficient first principles approach to calculate X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and X-ray natural circular dichroism (XNCD) is developed and applied in the near edge region at the K-and L1-edges in solids. Computation of circular dichroi
sm requires precise calculations of X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) for circularly polarized light. For the derivation of the XAS cross section, we used a relativistic description of the photon-electron interaction that results in an additional term in the cross-section that couples the electric dipole operator with an operator $mathbf{sigma}cdot (mathbf{epsilon} times mathbf{r})$ that we name spin-position. The numerical method relies on pseudopotentials, on the gauge including projected augmented wave method and on a collinear spin relativistic description of the electronic structure. We apply the method to the calculations of K-edge XMCD spectra of ferromagnetic iron, cobalt and nickel and of I L1-edge XNCD spectra of $alpha$-LiIO3, a compound with broken inversion symmetry. For XMCD spectra we find that, even if the electric dipole term is the dominant one, the electric quadrupole term is not negligible (8% in amplitude in the case of iron). The term coupling the electric dipole operator with the spin-position operator is significant (28% in amplitude in the case of iron). We obtain a sum-rule relating this new term to the spin magnetic moment of the p-states. In $alpha$-LiIO3 we recover the expected angular dependence of the XNCD spectra.
An implementation of the multiple-scattering approach to x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) in K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy is presented. The convergence problems due to the cluster size and the relativistic corrections are solved using
an expansion of the Dirac Green function for complex energies up to the second order in 1/$c$. The Fermi energy is dealt with via a complex plane integration. Numerical methods used to obtain the semi-relativistic Green function in the whole complex plane are explained. We present a calculation of the magnetic circular dichroism at the K-edge of bcc-iron including the core hole effect. A good agreement is found at high energy. The physical origins of the XMCD spectrum near the edge and far from the edge are analyzed. The influence of the core hole, the possibility of a multiple-scattering expansion and the relation of XMCD with the spin-polarized density of states are discussed. A simple interpretation of XMCD at the K-edge is presented in terms of a rigid-band model.
Local structure of NdFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$ ($x$=0.0, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.18) high temperature iron pnictide superconductor system is studied using arsenic $K$-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements as a function of temperature. Fe-As
bondlength shows only a weak temperature and F-substitution dependence, consistent with the strong covalent nature of this bond. The temperature dependence of the mean-square relative-displacements of the Fe-As bondlength are well described by the correlated-Einstein model for all the samples, but with different Einstein-temperatures for the superconducting and non-superconducting samples. The results indicate distinct local Fe-As lattice dynamics in the superconducting and non-superconducting iron-pnictide systems.
Fe K-edge and Se K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements are used to study FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$ electronic structure of chalcogenides. An intense Fe K-edge pre-edge peak due to Fe 1s$to$3d (and admixed Se/Te $p$ states) is ob
served, showing substantial change with the Te substitution and X-ray polarization. The main white line peak in the Se K-edge XANES due to Se 1s $to$ 4p transition appear similar to the one expected for Se$^{2-}$ systems and changes with the Te substitution. Polarization dependence reveals that unoccupied Se orbitals near the Fermi level have predominant $p_{x,y}$ character. The results provide key information on the hybridization of Fe $3d$ and chalcogen $p$ states in the Fe-based chalcogenide superconductors.
