Resonant x-ray scattering study of layeredTbBaCo2O5.5

Resonant elastic soft x-ray scattering.

Resonant (elastic) soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) offers a unique element, site and valence specific probe to study spatial modulations of charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom in solids on the nanoscopic length scale. It is not only used to investigate single-crystalline materials. This method also enables one to examine electronic ordering phenomena in thin films and to zoom into electron...

A Resonant X-ray Scattering Study of Octahedral Tilt Ordering Typeset Using Revt E X 2

We report an x-ray scattering study of octahedral tilt ordering in the man-ganite series Pr 1−x Ca x MnO 3 with x=0.4 and 0.25 and in LaMnO 3. The sensitivity to tilt ordering is achieved by tuning the incident x-ray energy to the L I , L II and L III absorption edges of Pr and La, respectively. The resulting energy-dependent profiles are characterized by a dipole-resonant peak and higher energ...

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...

Basics of Resonant Elastic X-ray Scattering theory

We recall the basic equations of Resonant Elastic X-ray Scattering (REXS), starting from the photon-electron Hamiltonian interaction, and describing the different components for the possible transitions. We also make the connection with classical physics and we emphasize the signs of the relevant terms, resonant and non resonant, to comply to the convention on the phase wave.
