Resonant Magnetic Field Control of Elastic Scattering in ColdR85b

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...

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.
