The observed angular anisotropy shows that the vibrational excitations within this final state are strongly dependent on the polarization of the incident radiation. The analysis demonstrates that this is a manifestation of interference between resonant and direct nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering. This interference provides a new tool to monitor nuclear dynamics by relative rotation of the polarization vectors of the incident and scattered photons.}, language = {en} } @article{SunPietzschHenniesetal.2011, author = {Sun, Y-P and Pietzsch, Annette and Hennies, Franz and Rinkevicius, Z. and Karlsson, Hans O. and Schmitt, Thorsten and Strocov, Vladimir N. and Andersson, Joakim and Kennedy, B. and Schlappa, J. and F{\"o}hlisch, Alexander and Gel'mukhanov, F. and Rubensson, Jan-Erik}, title = {Internal symmetry and selection rules in resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering}, series = {Journal of physics : B, Atomic, molecular and optical physics}, volume = {44}, journal = {Journal of physics : B, Atomic, molecular and optical physics}, number = {16}, publisher = {IOP Publ.
