X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a well established tool for obtaining information about orbital and spin degrees of freedom in transition metal- and rare earth-compounds. For this purpose usually the dipole transitions of the L- (2p to 3d)…
A non-trivial balance between Coulomb repulsion and kinematic effects determines the electronic structure of correlated electron materials. The use electromagnetic fields strong enough to rival these native microscopic interactions allows…
Transient X-ray absorption techniques can measure ultrafast dynamics of the elemental edges in a material or multiple layer junction, giving them immense potential for deconvoluting concurrent processes. However, the interpretation of the…
The near edge structure (XANES) in K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a widely used tool for studying electronic and local structure in materials. The precise interpretation of these spectra with the help of calculations is hence…
The temperature dependence of the pre-edge features in x-ray absorption spectroscopy is reviewed. Then, the temperature dependence of the pre-edge structure at the K-edge of titanium in rutile TiO2 is measured at low and room temperature.…
In this work, we revisit the issue of the nature of electronic transport in nickel oxide (NiO) and show that the widely used model of free small polaron hopping, initially raised to characterize transport in high-purity samples, is not…
In a recent publication Larson \textit{et al.} reported remarkably clear $d$-$d$ excitations for NiO and CoO measured with x-ray energies well below the transition metal $K$ edge. In this letter we demonstrate that we can obtain an accurate…
The influence of atomic vibrations on x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) is calculated by assuming that vibrational energies are small with respect to the instrumental resolution. The resulting expression shows that, at the…
Photo-doped states in strongly correlated charge transfer insulators are characterized by $d$-$d$ and $d$-$p$ interactions and the resulting intertwined dynamics of charge excitations and local multiplets. Here we use femtosecond x-ray…
We present a new theoretical approach to describe X-Ray absorption and Magnetic Circular Dichroism spectra in the presence of e-e correlation. Our approach provides an unified picture to include correlations in both charged and neutral…
We study the scattering and absorption properties of charged scalar fields on a near-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole background. We show that in this low-temperature regime the near-horizon throat experiences large quantum…
A precise calculation that translates shifts of X-ray K-absorption edges to variations of thermodynamic properties allows quantitative characterization of interior thermodynamic properties of warm dense plasmas by X-ray absorption…
In recent years, ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy has provided insightful information about nonequilibrium dynamics of excitations in materials. In a typical experiment of time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy, the systems are…
A resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of the electronic structure of the semiconductor cuprous oxide, $\rm Cu_2O$, is reported. When the incident x-ray energy is tuned to the Cu K-absorption edge, large enhancements of the spectral…
Momentum-resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy has been carried out at the Fe K edge, successfully for the first time. The RIXS spectra of a FeBO3 single crystal reveal a wealth of information on 1-10 eV…
Resonant soft X-ray Raman scattering measurements on NiO have been made at photon energies across the Ni 2p absorption edges. The details of the spectral features are identified as Raman scattering due to d-d and charge-transfer…
In existing theoretical approaches to core-level excitations of transition-metal ions in solids relaxation and polarization effects due to the inner core hole are often ignored or described phenomenologically. Here we set up an ab initio…
We analyze the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra at the Ni $K$ edge in an antiferromagnetic insulator NiO by applying the theory developed by the present authors. It is based on the Keldysh Green's function formalism, and…
Reliable atomic data have been computed for the spectral modeling of the nitrogen K lines, which may lead to useful astrophysical diagnostics. Data sets comprise valence and K-vacancy level energies, wavelengths, Einstein $A$-coefficients,…
We develop a first-principles scheme based on the continued fraction approach an d ultrasoft pseudopotentials to calculate K-edge X-ray absorption spectra in solids. The method allows for calculations of K-edge X-ray absorption spectra in…
