Recent Developments of Inelastic X-ray Scattering Spectroscopy.

What is it about?

Advances in synchrotron radiation sources have opened up a new frontier of inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) spectroscopy. The IXS measurements with a resolution much better than a few eV are now becoming feasible. Such experiments can be used to study various properties of condensed systems: e.g., electron correlations in the ground state (Compton-Raman scattering), eV and sub-eV electronic excitations (X-ray Raman scattering and small-angle IXS), and meV phonon excitations (ultra-high resolution IXS) .
