Magnetic Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering

Temperature-Dependent 1s2p Resonant Inelastic X‐ray Scattering of CoO

The temperature-dependent 1s2p resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of CoO have been measured with 0.3 eV overall resolution, and the RIXS planes have been analyzed with multiplet calculations. The analysis of the high-resolution 1s2p RIXS plane allows a more detailed determination of the ground-state electronic structure, as compared to 1s X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The...

1s2p resonant inelastic X-ray scattering of iron oxides.

1s2p resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy has been measured for a series of iron oxides, including octahedral and tetrahedral Fe(II) and Fe(III) systems. Their spectral shapes have been analyzed and explained using crystal-field multiplet simulations. The RIXS planes and the K-edge and L-edge X-ray absorption spectra related to these RIXS planes will be discussed with respect...

Observation of phonons with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering.

Phonons, the quantum mechanical representation of lattice vibrations, and their coupling to the electronic degrees of freedom are important for understanding thermal and electric properties of materials. For the first time, phonons have been measured using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) across the Cu K-edge in cupric oxide (CuO). Analyzing these spectra using an ultra-short core-hol...

Inelastic x-ray scattering in correlated Mott insulators.

We calculate the inelastic light scattering from x rays, which allows the photon to transfer both energy and momentum to the strongly correlated charge excitations. We find that the charge-transfer peak and the low-energy peak both broaden and disperse through the Brillouin zone similar to what is seen in experiments in materials such as Ca2CuO2Cl2.
