The RIXS-spectrometer covers an energy range from 50 eV to 1000 eV, providing a resolving power E/Delta E of 5000-15,000. The beamline allows full polarization control and gives a photon flux of up to 7 x 10(14) photons/s/0.1 A/0.1\%bandwidth by offering a resolving power E/Delta E of 4000-12,000.}, language = {en} } @article{KunnusJosefssonSchrecketal.2017, author = {Kunnus, Kristjan and Josefsson, I. and Schreck, Simon Frederik and Quevedo, W. and Miedema, P.

Specifically, the experimental intensity ratio at the Ni L-3-edge allows to determine that the Ni 3d orbitals have on average 5.5\% of water character. We propose that 2p3d RIXS at the Ni L-3-edge can be utilized to quantify covalency in Ni complexes without the use of external references or simulations.}, language = {en} } @article{BeyeWernetSchuesslerLangeheineetal.2013, author = {Beye, Martin and Wernet, Ph. and Sch{\"u}ßler-Langeheine, Christian and F{\"o}hlisch, Alexander}, title = {Time resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering: a supreme tool to understand dynamics in solids and molecules}, series = {Journal of electron spectroscopy and related phenomena : the international journal on theoretical and experimental aspects of electron spectroscopy}, volume = {188}, journal = {Journal of electron spectroscopy and related phenomena : the international journal on theoretical and experimental aspects of electron spectroscopy}, number = {3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0368-2048}, doi = {10.1016/j.elspec.2013.04.013}, pages = {172 -- 182}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Dynamics in materials typically involve different degrees of freedom, like charge, lattice, orbital and spin in a complex interplay. Time-resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) as a highly selective tool can provide unique insight and follow the details of dynamical processes while resolving symmetries, chemical and charge states, momenta, spin configurations, etc. In this paper, we review examples where the intrinsic scattering duration time is used to study femtosecond phenomena. Free-electron lasers access timescales starting in the sub-ps range through pump-probe methods and synchrotrons study the time scales longer than tens of ps. In these examples, time-resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering is applied to solids as well as molecular systems.}, language = {en} }
