The current status of theoretical understanding of the x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) of 3d compounds is reviewed. Energy band theory based upon the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) describes the XMCD spectra of transition metal compounds reasonably well. Examples which we examine i...
