ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS S
Firstly,, I want to thank Jeroen Goedkoop for taking me onboard his group and givingg me the opportunity to complete my Ph.D. Despite the asbestos crisis, the longg and dreadful beamtimes, the sometimes hazardous and always arduous work,, we managed to deliver it ashore.
II also thank Mark Golden for taking over Friso van der Veen as my official pro-motor.. Mark, your detailed reading of the thesis manuscript was very useful; Friso,, I had a great pleasure in sharing a beamtime and discussions with you. Carryingg out any synchrotron experiment on your own is simply impossible, andd I am greatly in debt to my group mates: Joost, Olivier, Mark and lately Stan.. Huib, thanks for those beautiful samples you grow.
Forr the calculations presented in Chapter 2,1 used the version of Cowan's code providedd by Frank de Groot: thanks for your patience explaining me some of thee secrets of the atomic multiplet calculations and their implementation. Thee dynamical studies shown in Chapter 4 were the result of our collaboration withh the beamline ID08 at ESRF and the XMCD group at Louis Néel
Labo-ratoire.ratoire. I am indebted to Nick Brookes for adopting me as one of his Ph.D.
studentss in Grenoble when the asbestos was pouring in Amsterdam, and for hiss dedication to our experiments as a local contact; to Kenneth Larsson"1", the bestt technician I have ever met and a very sensible person. Stefania Pizzini, Jan Vogel,, Yann Pennec, Marlio Bonfim and Julio Camarero, thanks a lot for your supportt with the dynamical measurements and your help when our group was tooo thin for a beamtime.
Too ion bombard Huib's precious samples, we counted with the help of several people:: Albert Polman, Max Tien, Teun van Dillen (AMOLF), Vishwas Gadgil
(MESA+),(MESA+), Jeroen Luigjes and Hugo Schlatter {WZI), thanks to you all.
Thee samples studied in Chapter 6 came from Bernard Dieny's group at CEA inn Grenoble. Many thanks to him and the people involved: Flavio Garcia and Jordii Sort.
II want to acknowledge the scientific, technical and secretarial staff of the van derr Waals - Zeeman Institute for their professional support every time I needed it,, and ESRF for the hospitality during my stay there.
