Measuring collective excitations with an XFEL

Published by . Filed under Publications, Research. Total of no comments in the discussion.

We just finished a study demonstrating a way to use time-resolved RIXS to measure the collective exctiations of quantum materials, in this instance CDW-ordered La2-xBaxCuO4 (LBCO). The idea is to weakly perturb the system with a pump pulse and then measure the time evolution of the order parameter, which encodes the collective excitations of the […]

Beam time at qRIXS

Published by . Filed under Research. Total of no comments in the discussion.

We did our first experiment on qRIXS, the world’s first fully angle-resolved soft RIXS spectrometer, which is under development at the Advanced Light Source. This thing will open up a new approach to studying valence band excitations in materials. Find out more.
