Thanks.  So XNCD is an effect of the quadrupole terms?

Hi Matthew,
Sorry it took a while to answer your questions. No one has used the
XNCD features of FEFF for quite some time, and the example files that
were lying around did not run correctly. However, I have now
reproduced the output from one for the LiIO3 example. Please see the
input below. The main things that are essential are:
1. The setting
     MULTIPOLE 2
     which turns on quadrupole effects.
2. The XNCD card.
3. The ELLIPTICITY card to tell the program the direction of x-ray
propagation, i.e.,
     ELLIPTICITY elipticity kx ky kz
     for example, circular polarization in the z direction is specified by
     ELLIPTICITY 1 0 0 1
     If you don't specify the ELLIPTICITY, and the XNCD card is
specified, the program will
     assume circularly polarized light traveling in the z direction.

I am also attaching the results that I get from FEFF9. The xncd signal
is in column 6.

Cheers,
Josh Kas

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Can FEFF calculate X-ray natural circular dichroism, which is the XCD that 
comes from structural chirality and not
magnetism?  I suppose I could simply try it, putting in coordinates for some 
simple molecule, but I'd like to know
if any results would be meaningful.
