Title: High-energy-resolution diced spherical quartz analyzers for resonant inelastic X-ray scattering

Journal Article · · Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (Online)

A novel diced spherical quartz analyzer for use in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is introduced, achieving an unprecedented energy resolution of 10.53 meV at the IrL3absorption edge (11.215 keV). In this work the fabrication process and the characterization of the analyzer are presented, and an example of a RIXS spectrum of magnetic excitations in a Sr3Ir2O7sample is shown.
