Magnetic susceptibility anisotropy and high sensitivity magnetostriction measurements are used to investigate the symmetry of CeB6 ordered states. The antiferromagnetic state is confirmed as tetragonal, but no deviation from the cubic…

Resonant-magnetic x-ray scattering (RMXS) near the vanadium $L_{2,3}$-absorption edges has been used to investigate the low temperature magnetic structure of high quality \bvs\ single crystals. Below $T_N$ = 31 K, the strong resonance…

Charge-ordered ground states permeate the phenomenology of 3d-based transition metal oxides, and more generally represent a distinctive hallmark of strongly-correlated states of matter. The recent discovery of charge order in various…

Resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) is a spectroscopy where both the power of site selective diffraction and the power of local absorption spectroscopy regarding atomic species are combined. By virtue of the dependence on the core level state…

Orbital degrees of freedom play a major role in the physics of many strongly correlated transition metal compounds. However, they are still very difficult to access experimentally, in particular by neutron scattering. We propose here how to…

We investigate resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the O $K$-edge in insulating cuprates by means of three methods: cluster perturbation theory (CPT), Hartree--Fock approximation (HFA) and exact diagonalization (ED) method. We…

Non-resonant inelastic x ray scattering (NIXS) experiments have been performed to probe the 5d-5f electronic transitions at the uranium O(4,5) absorption edges in uranium dioxide. For small values of the scattering vector q, the spectra are…

We investigate unconventional superconductivity in three-dimensional electronic systems with the chemical potential close to a quadratic band touching point in the band dispersion. Short-range interactions can lead to d-wave…

The spectacular physical properties of quantum materials based on transition metal, rare earth, and actinide elements continue to challenge our comprehension of solid state physics and chemistry. The electronic states of these materials are…

The recent discovery of spin-triplet superconductivity emerging from a non-magnetic parent state in UTe$_2$ has stimulated great interest in the underlying mechanism of Cooper pairing. Experimental characterization of short-range electronic…

Recent studies have dealt with the electronic and magnetic ground state properties of the tetraboride material MnB$_4$. So far, however, the ground state properties could not be established unambiguously. Therefore, here we present an…

In the light of new experimental evidence we study the insulating ground state of the $3d^2$-transition metal trihalides VX$_3$ (X=Cl, I). Based on Density Functional Theory with the Hubbard correction (DFT$+U$) we systematically show how…

The symmetry of local moments plays a defining role in the nature of exotic grounds states stabilized in frustrated magnetic materials. We present inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements of the crystal electric field (CEF)…

We characterize the magnetic ground state of the newly synthesized lanthanide intermetallic GdNiSn$_4$ via resonant elastic x-ray scattering measurements. This compound forms distorted square nets of Gd that initially order magnetically…

Resonant (elastic) soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) offers a unique element, site, and valence specific probe to study spatial modulations of charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom in solids on the nanoscopic length scale. It cannot only…

Herein we show that non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering involving an $s$ core level is a powerful spectroscopic method to characterize the excited states of transition metal compounds. The spherical charge distribution of the $s$ core…

X-ray absorption is the standard method to probe the unoccupied density of states at a given edge. Here we show that polarized Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering in La2CuO4 at the Cu K-edge is extremely sensitive to the environment of the…

An application of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering technique for studying of optical scale excitations in electron-correlated materials is discussed. Examples are given including data obtained for 3d transition metal, lanthanide, and…

We show that the strongly correlated 4f-orbital symmetry of the ground state is revealed by linear dichroism in core-level photoemission spectra as we have discovered for YbRh2Si2 and YbCu2Si2. Theoretical analysis tells us that the linear…

We analyze within quasi-particle theory a recent resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) experiment on $\mathrm{YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}}$ with the incoming photon energy detuned at several values from the resonance maximum [Minola et al., Phys.…
