Title: Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering of tantalum double perovskite structures

Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the electronic structures and defect states of SrLaMgTaO₆ (SLMTO) double perovskite structures by using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. Recently, Eu³⁺ doped SLMTO red phosphors have been vigorously investigated due to their higher red emission efficiency compared to commercial white light emitting diodes (W-LED). However, a comprehensive understanding on the electronic structures and defect states of host SLMTO compounds, which are specifically related to the W-LED and photoluminescence (PL), is far from complete. Here, we found that the PL spectra of SLMTO powder compounds sintered at a higher temperature, 1400 °C, were weaker in the blue emission regions (at around 400 nm) and became enhanced in near infrared (NIR) regions compared to those sintered at 1200 °C. To elucidate the difference of the PL spectra, we performed resonant inelastic x-ray spectroscopy (RIXS) at Ta L-edge. Here, our RIXS result implies that the microscopic origin of different PL spectra is not relevant to the Ta-related defects and oxygen vacancies.

Modular soft x-ray spectrometer for applications in energy sciences and quantum materials

Journal Article Chuang, Yi-De ; Shao, Yu-Cheng ; Cruz, Alejandro ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Over the past decade, the advances in grating-based soft X-ray spectrometers have revolutionized the soft X-ray spectroscopies in materials research. However, these novel spectrometers are mostly dedicated designs, which cannot be easily adopted for applications with diverging demands. Here we present a versatile spectrometer design concept based on the Hettrick-Underwood optical scheme that uses modular mechanical components. The spectrometer’s optics chamber can be used with gratings operated in either inside or outside orders, and the detector assembly can be reconfigured accordingly. The spectrometer can be designed to have high spectral resolution, exceeding 10 000 resolving power when using small sourcemore »« less

Resonant soft x-ray emission spectroscopy of V{sub 2}O{sub 3}, VO{sub 2} and NaV{sub 2}O{sub 5}

Journal Article Schmitt, T ; Duda, L -C ; Augustsson, A ; ... - Surface Review and Letters

Resonant soft X-ray emission (RSXE) spectra of V2O3, VO2 and NaV2O5 were recorded for a series of excitation energies at resonances of the V L- and O K-absorption band. The V L- and O K-emission in these vanadium oxide bands possess considerable overlap. By resonant excitation we can tune the energy to the absorption thresholds, thereby eliminating this overlap. Hereby we obtain the V 3d and O 2p projected density-of-states of the valence band. Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is found to be weak in V2O3, which we explain as being due to its metallic character at room temperature. Vanadiummore »« less
Characterization of charge transfer excitations in hexacyanomanganate(III) with Mn K-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Journal Article Meyer, Drew A ; PULSE Institute for Ultrafast Energy Science, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305 ; Xuena, Zhang ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

We use hard x-ray resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to characterize charge transfer excitations in K{sub 3}Mn(CN){sub 6}. The combination of RIXS measurements and DFT calculations allows us to characterize the strength of the ligand-metal electronic interaction and assign the Raman resonances in the RIXS spectra to charge transfer excitations. With x-ray excitation energies resonant with the T{sub 2g} and E{sub g} pre-edge peaks derived predominantly from the Mn 3d orbitals, we observe Raman resonances in the energy transfer range from 2 to 12 eV, which results from the filling of the 1s core-holemore »« less

Computational time-resolved and resonant x-ray scattering of strongly correlated materials

Technical Report Bansil, Arun

Basic-Energy Sciences of the Department of Energy (BES/DOE) has made large investments in x-ray sources in the U.S. (NSLS-II, LCLS, NGLS, ALS, APS) as powerful enabling tools for opening up unprecedented new opportunities for exploring properties of matter at various length and time scales. The coming online of the pulsed photon source, literally allows us to see and follow the dynamics of processes in materials at their natural timescales. There is an urgent need therefore to develop theoretical methodologies and computational models for understanding how x-rays interact with matter and the related spectroscopies of materials. The present project addressed aspectsmore »« less

Electronic structure of La{sub 5/3}Sr{sub 1/3}NiO{sub 4} by x-ray emission spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Journal Article Simonelli, L. ; Huotari, S. ; Monaco, G. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Here, we report a study of the electronic structure of La{sub 5/3}Sr{sub 1/3}NiO{sub 4} by x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). The combination of these techniques has permitted us to reveal a complete picture of the occupied and unoccupied states, and to identify various charge transfer transitions appearing as inelastic features in the RIXS spectra. The results add further information on the electronic excitations in this system, and show how the combination of XES and RIXS can be an important experimental tool to address basic physics of complex systems.
