Abstract

We present a computational study of LL-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) in correlated 3dd transition-metal oxides using an abab initioinitio method based on local density approximation + dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The present method, building on Anderson impurity model with an optimized continuum bath within DMFT, is an extension of the cluster model to include unbound electron-hole pair excitations as well as material-specific charge-transfer excitations with less empirical parameters. We find a good agreement with available experimental data. The relationship between correlated bands and fluorescence-like feature in the RIXS spectra is discussed.
