Electronic modifications in (Ba,La)(Fe,Zn,Y)O_{3−<i>δ</i>} unveiled by oxygen K-edge X-ray Raman scattering

Stimulated electronic x-ray Raman scattering.

We demonstrate strong stimulated inelastic x-ray scattering by resonantly exciting a dense gas target of neon with femtosecond, high-intensity x-ray pulses from an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). A small number of lower energy XFEL seed photons drive an avalanche of stimulated resonant inelastic x-ray scattering processes that amplify the Raman scattering signal by several orders of magnitude...

Electronic structure of Ni complexes by X-ray resonance Raman spectroscopy (resonant inelastic X-ray scattering).

The potential of 1s2p resonant inelastic (Raman) X-ray scattering (RIXS) is demonstrated for a series of Ni coordination complexes. In this technique, incident and scattered photon energies lie in the hard X-ray range (>5 keV). The 1s2p RIXS contour plots provide information that is complementary to K-edge and L-edge spectroscopy. RIXS spectroscopy promises to be a valuable probe of electronic ...

Nondipole Resonant X-ray-Raman Spectroscopy: Polarized Inelastic Scattering at the K Edge of Cl2

High-resolution study of x-ray resonant Raman scattering at the K edge of silicon.

We report on the first high-resolution measurements of the K x-ray resonant Raman scattering (RRS) in Si. The measured x-ray RRS spectra, interpreted using the Kramers-Heisenberg approach, revealed spectral features corresponding to electronic excitations to the conduction and valence bands in silicon. The total cross sections for the x-ray RRS at the 1s absorption edge and the 1s-3p excitation...
