High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy
- Overview of the techniques or what can you do with a crystal spectrometer at a synchrotron radiation source? The answer includes non-resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (NR-IXS), a photon energy loss spectroscopy with controlled momentum transfer, resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy (RXES) Quite a bit;)
