We analyze resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Cu K edge in a typical orbital-ordered compound KCuF3 on the basis of a microscopic theory. Spectral shape and its dependence on polarization direction and momentum transfer of…

We demonstrate a strategy for simulating wide-range X-ray scattering patterns, which spans the small- and wide scattering angles as well as the scattering angles typically used for Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis. Such simulated…

Inverse Compton scattering (ICS) is a promising method for generating coherent and tunable x-rays in a compact setup. In this paper, we present a theoretical framework describing the output of an ICS x-ray source for arbitrary interaction…

Core hole resonance is used in X-ray spectroscopy to incisively probe the local electronic states of many-body systems. Here, resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is studied as a function of incident photon energy on Mott insulators…

Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is the variable radio, near-infrared (NIR), and X-ray source associated with accretion onto the Galactic center black hole. We have analyzed a comprehensive submillimeter (including new observations simultaneous with…

We analyze Suzaku and XMM-Newton data of the highly variable Seyfert 2, IRAS 18325-5926. The spectra of the source are well modeled as a primary component described as an absorbed power law and a secondary power law component which is…

A study of wetting was carried out on porous silicon films with pore diameters spanning three orders of magnitude. Water contact angle measurements on adjoining porous and nonporous regions yielded Wenzel roughness ratios that were either…

By means of ab-initio calculations we investigate the optical properties of pure a-SiN$_x$ samples, with $x \in [0.4, 1.8]$, and samples embedding silicon nanoclusters (NCs) of diameter $0.5 \leq d \leq 1.0$ nm. In the pure samples the…

Using the Theory of Scattering in Restricted Geometries developed by A. Lupu-Sax as a starting point, we present a comprehensive multi-channel theory of atom-atom scattering in tight atom waveguides.

The Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) is an imaging spectrometer using charge-coupled devices (CCDs) aboard the Hitomi X-ray observatory. The SXI sensor has four CCDs with an imaging area size of $31~{\rm mm} \times 31~{\rm mm}$ arranged in a $2…

The practical strength of oxide glasses is greatly reduced by surface flaws that form during processing and use. Instrumented indentation can mimic such real-life damage events and induce flaws and cracking under controlled conditions. At…

We study resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) peaks corresponding to low energy particle-hole excited states of metallic FeTe and semi-metallic TiSe$_2$ for photon incident energy tuned near the $L_{3}$ absorption edge of Fe and Ti…

Incoherent surface scattering yields a statistical description of the surface, due to the ensemble averaging over many independently sampled volumes. Depending on the state of the surface and direction of the scattering vector relative to…

We outline a strategy for quantitatively evaluating the conformational characteristics of self-assembled structures using the techniques of contrast variation small angle neutron scattering. By means of basis function expansion, a case…

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) is an extremely valuable tool for the study of elementary, including magnetic, excitations in matter. Latest developments of this technique mostly aimed at improving the energy resolution and…

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) has become an important scientific tool. Nonetheless, conventional high-resolution RIXS measurements (<100 meV), especially in the soft x-ray range, require large and low-throughput grating…

Strong iron fluorescence at 6.4 keV and hard-X-ray emissions from giant molecular clouds in the Galactic center region have been interpreted as reflections of a past outburst of the Sgr A* supermassive black hole. Careful treatment of…

Coherent grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering is used to investigate the average kinetics and the fluctuation dynamics during self-organized nanopatterning of silicon by Ar$^+$ bombardment at 65$^{\circ}$ polar angle. At early…

Oxygen chain fragments are known to appear at the insulator to superconductor transition (SIT) in YBa2Cu3O6+y. However the self organization and the size distribution of oxygen chain fragments is not known. Here we contribute to fill this…

We present here an overview of Coherent X-ray Diffraction Imaging (CXDI) with its application to nanostructures. This imaging approach has become especially important recently due to advent of X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (XFEL) and its…
