Extreme ultraviolet resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at a seeded free-electron laser

چکیده
In the past few years, we have been witnessing an increased interest for studying materials properties under non-equilibrium conditions. Several well established spectroscopies for experiments in the energy domain have been successfully adapted to the time domain with sub-picosecond time resolution. Here we show the realization of high resolution resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) with a stable ultrashort X-ray source such as an externally seeded free electron laser (FEL). We have designed and constructed a RIXS experimental endstation that allowed us to successfully measure the d-d excitations in KCoF3 single crystals at the cobalt M2,3-edge at FERMI FEL (Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy). The FEL-RIXS spectra show an excellent agreement with the ones obtained from the same samples at the MERIXS endstation of the MERLIN beamline at the Advanced Light Source storage ring (Berkeley, USA). We established experimental protocols for performing time resolved RIXS experiments at a FEL source to avoid X ray-induced sample damage, while retaining comparable acquisition time to the synchrotron based measurements. Finally, we measured and modelled the influence of the FEL mixed electromagnetic modes, also present in externally seeded FELs, and the beam transport with ~120 meV experimental resolution achieved in the presented RIXS setup.

A setup for resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering on liquids at free electron laser light sources.
We present a flexible and compact experimental setup that combines an in vacuum liquid jet with an x-ray emission spectrometer to enable static and femtosecond time-resolved resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements from liquids at free electron laser (FEL) light sources. We demonstrate the feasibility of this type of experiments with the measurements performed at the Linac C...

We confine ourselves mainly to the studies performed since 2...
متن کاملElectron correlation effects in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering of NaV2O5.
Element- and site-specific resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectroscopy (RIXS) is employed to investigate electron correlation effects in NaV2O5. In contrast to single photon techniques, RIXS at the vanadium L3 edge is able to probe d-d* transitions between V d-bands. A sharp energy loss feature is observed at -1.56 eV, which is well reproduced by a model calculation including correlation e...

We investigate theoretically the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the K edge of Si with systematically varying transfered-momenta, incident-photon energy and incidentphoton polarization. We confirm theoretically the anisotropy of a RIXS and provide a quantitative explanation of a experiment on RIXS at the K edge of Si (Y. Ma et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 478 (1995)). We clarify the ...
متن کاملSingle-band model of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering by quasiparticles in high-T(c) cuprate superconductors.
We show that a simple model of noninteracting quasiparticles accurately describes resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments in the hole-doped cuprate superconductors. Band structure alone yields signatures previously attributed to collective magnetic modes, such as the dispersing peaks and nontrivial polarization dependence found in several experiments. We conclude that RIXS data c...
