Description

Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) is a powerful momentum-resolved probe of excitations involving lattice, charge, orbital and spin degrees of freedom for a diversity of materials. With the development of intense pulsed x-ray sources from free electron lasers, it is very attractive to extend this advanced spectroscopy into the time-domain.

After introducing the RIXS technique, we will discuss what new and appealing information time-resolved RIXS can extract about quantum materials. We will elaborate on the special x-ray pulse modes that could enable unique operation of time-resolved RIXS at SwissFEL. We will end this talk by presenting recent examples of time-resolved RIXS studies on correlated materials.
