Recently it was demonstrated (Schattschneider et al., Nature 441 (2006),486), that an analogue of the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)experiment can be performed with the transmission electron microscope (TEM).The new phenomenon has been named energy-loss magnetic chiral dichroism (EMCD).In this work we present a detailed ab initio study of the chiral dichroism inthe Fe, Co and Ni transition elements. We discuss the methods used for thesimulations together with the validity and accuracy of the treatment, whichcan, in principle, apply to any given crystalline specimen. The dependence ofthe dichroic signal on the sample thickness, accuracy of the detector positionand the size of convergence and collection angles is calculated.
