Resonant soft x-ray scattering experiments with photon energies near the O K and the Cu L3 edge on the system La1.8-xEu0.2SrxCuO4 for 0.1 <= x <= 0.15 are presented. A phase diagram for stripe-like charge ordering is obtained together with…
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…
X-ray scattering by multiferroic LuFe2O4 is reported. Below 320 K, superstructure reflections indicate an incommensurate charge order with propagation close to (1/3,1/3,3/2). The corresponding charge configuration, also found by electronic…
We investigate the origin of satellite features that appear in the high-resolution x-ray absorption spectra measured at the uranium M 4 edge in compounds where the uranium atoms are in the U 6+ oxidation state. We employ a material-specific…
A systematic analysis of resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction data for UPd$_3$, with signal enhancement at the U M$_{IV}$ edge, including possible structural phase-transitions leads to a new determination of the space groups of the material in…
We study the magnetic excitation spectra of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the $L$-edge from undoped cuprates beyond the fast collision approximation. We analyse the effect of the symmetry breaking ground state on the RIXS…
We investigate resonances in positron-sodium scattering using the $R$-matrix propagation method formulated in hyperspherical coordinates. The interaction between the sodium core and the valence electron is described by analytical model…
Soft X-ray resonant scattering (XRS) has been used to observe directly, for the first time, the ordering of localized electronic states on both the Mn and Tb sites in multiferroic TbMnO$_3$. Large resonant enhancement of the X-ray…
We report on an extensive investigation of the multiferroic compound TbMnO$_3$. Non-resonant x-ray magnetic scattering (NRXMS) revealed a dominant $A$-type domain. The temperature dependence of the intensity and wavevector associated with…
We report soft point-contact spectroscopy studies of URu2Si2 both in the hidder order (HO) and the large-moment antiferromagnetic (LMAF) states accessed by pressure. In the HO state at ambient pressure, the spectroscopy shows two asymmetric…
A theoretical model of resonant hyper-Raman scattering by an ensemble of spherical semiconductor quantum dots has been developed. The electronic intermediate states are described as Wannier-Mott excitons in the framework of the envelope…
The utility of resonant scattering spectroscopies for identifying electronic symmetries and density distributions changes dramatically as a function of photon energy. In the hard X-ray regime, strong core hole monopole potentials tend to…
Low-temperature magnetic resonance study of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet Cu(en)(H$_2$O)$_2$SO$_4$ (en = C$_2$H$_8$N$_2$) was performed down to 0.45~K. This compound orders antiferromagnetically at 0.9K. The analysis of the…
Bound states and scattering resonances in the unoccupied continuum of a two-dimensional crystal predicted in [Phys$.$Rev$.$ B 87, 041405(R) (2013)] are considered within an exactly solvable model. A close connection of the observed…
Recent calculations, concerning the magnetism of uranium in the U/Fe multilayer system have described the spatial dependence of the 5f polarization that might be expected. We have used the x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity technique to…
In the framework of the magnetar model for the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars, we consider the structure of neutron star magnetospheres threaded by large-scale electrical currents. We construct self-similar, force-free…
We have discovered a third harmonic cyclotron resonance scattering feature (CRSF) in observations of the recent outburst of 4U 0115+63 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The spectrum in a narrow pulse phase range shows CRSFs at…
To resolve the nature of the hidden order below 17.5\,K in the heavy fermion compound URu$_2$Si$_2$, identifying which symmetries are broken below the hidden order transition is one of the most important steps. Several recent experiments on…
We present a theory of the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to study electronic excitations in orbital ordered manganites. The charge and orbital excitations of the Mn 3d electron are caused by the Coulomb interactions in the…
We discuss the discovery of pressure-induced antiferromagnetism in URu_2Si_2, in the context of neutron, NMR and \mu SR results. The identification of a critical pressure separating mean-field and Ising phase transitions leads us to propose…
