The unusual electronic structure of the half-metallic ferromagnets (HMF) is analysed taking account of correlation effects (electron–magnon interaction, in particular spin-polaron effects). Special attention is paid to the so-called non-quasiparticle (NQP) (incoherent) states which arise in the minority- (majority-) spin gap above (below) the Fermi level and which may make considerable contributions to the electronic properties. First-principles calculations of the NQP states in HMF within the local-density approximation plus dynamical mean field theory (LDA+DMFT) are reviewed. These states can be probed, in particular, by spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscopy. They also lead to observable effects in core–hole spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic relaxation and contribute to the temperature dependence of impurity resistivity, etc. The peculiarities of the transport properties of three- and two-dimensional HMF are discussed, which are connected with the absence of one-magnon spin-flip scattering processes.

Quaternary Heusler alloys Co2Cr1−xFexAl with varying Cr to Fe ratio x were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The electronic structure and spectroscopic properties were calculated using the full relativistic Korringa–Kohn–Rostocker method with coherent potential approximation to account for the random distribution of Cr and Fe atoms as well as random disorder. Magnetic effects are included using spin dependent potentials in the local spin density approximation.Magnetic circular dichroism in x-ray absorption was measured at the L2,3 edges of Co, Fe and Cr of the pure compounds and the x = 0.4 alloy in order to determine element specific magnetic moments. Calculations and measurements show an increase of the magnetic moments with increasing iron content. Resonant (560–800 eV) soft x-ray as well as high resolution–high energy (⩾3.5 keV) hard x-ray photo emission was used to probe the density of the occupied states in Co2Cr0.6Fe0.4Al.

This review focuses on the capabilities and potential of soft x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy for the study of the electronic structure and chemical bonding of novel materials. The basic principle of x-ray fluorescence measurements using synchrotron radiation and the corresponding instrumentation issues are outlined. Particular attention is given to x-ray spectroscopic studies of the electronic structure and characterization of nanostructures, thin films, interfaces, adsorbates, half-metallic ferromagnets, and impurities in alloys, superconductors, and semiconductors and the chemical bonding in biomaterials and liquids.
