X-ray absorption and its dependence on the polarization of light is a powerful tool to investigate the orbital and spin moments of magnetic materials and their orientation relative to crystalline axes. Here, we present a program for the calculation of dichroic spectra from first principles. We have implemented the calculation of x-ray absorption spectra for left and right circularly polarized light into the Wien2k code. In this package, spin-density functional theory is applied in an all-electron scheme that allows to describe both core and valence electrons on the same footing. The matrix elements, which define the dependence of the photo absorption cross section on the polarization of light and on the sample magnetization, are computed within the dipole approximation. Results are presented for the L2,3 and M4,5 egdes of CeFe2 and compared to experiments.
