1 Inelastic soft x-ray scattering, fluorescence and elastic radiation What happens to the emission (or fluorescence) when the energy of the exciting photons changes? The emission spectra (can) change. One can usually distinguish easily the following contributions to the spectra: Elastic contribution (same energy as incoming photons). Inelastic features (energy changes and tracks excitation energy). Fluorescence features (at fixed energy). Note: When approaching the Fluorescence threshold, the inelastic scattering features evolve into fluorescence. The spectra in the graph are offset in y-direction for clarity Counts 3000 RIXS ev XAS TEY PFY calc ev Emission Energy [ev]

3 From emission (XES) to Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) Conduction band Valence band hω Photon in E F E Photon out hω = hω - E Advantages of RIXS: charge-neutral probing low-energy excitations site selectivity bulk and buried structures band dispersion no core state lifetime broadening ultra-fast dynamics Core level Formalism of scattering as a one-step process is described by Kramers-Heisenberg formula: F(ω,ω ) = Σ Σ f m <f D m><m D g> E g + hω -E m -iγ m 2 δ(ε g + hω Ε f hω ) Any possible transition that can be excited directly can also occur as an energy loss E. The transitions are only governed by (1) Selection rules. (2) Energy and momentum conservation.

6 One example of hard X-ray fluorescence Fluorescence spectroscopy (10 kev) of impurities on a Si wafer. From energy and intensity of the spectrum the type (element) and concentration of impurities can be determined (Ni: 10 fg). Due to I fluo ~Z 4 this is less feasible for lighter elements. In the graph Si Kα (1740 ev) is not in the detector window. For energetically not too deep core holes the exact energy of the core hole depends on the exact chemical environment. In this case even more details about the chemical structure can be obtained (like the chemical valence of the elements).

7 Photo Electron Spectroscopy (PES)

8 The principle of PES Tunable photons are used for excitation and the emitted electrons are monitored and their kinetic energy is determined. Other ways of excitation are photons from an X-ray source (XPS), ultra-violet photons (UPS) [or even electrons (EELS or electron energy loss spectroscopy)]. Due to the short attenuation length of electrons (~10Å), PES is a strongly surface sensitive technique.

9 Reminder: Electron processes are dominating (for lighter elements) Radiative transitions are competing with non-radiative transitions (Auger and Autoionization). In soft x-ray range radiationless transitions (Auger) are dominant.
