K-L resonant X-ray Raman scattering as a tool for potential energy surface mapping

Carniato S, Taieb R, Guillemin R, Journel L, Simon M, Gel'mukhanov F

With help of theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that original pump-probe experiments, using IR laser as a pump and K-L X-ray Raman scattering as a probe, offer a powerful tool to map core-excited potential energy curves with very high energy resolution, beyond vibrational and lifetime limitations.
