METRIXS

Momentum and Energy resolved RIXS at molecular Systems at U41-METRIXS

METRIXS is dedicated to measure vibrationally resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) on molecular systems in liquid and gaseous form. RIXS as a coherent Raman process conserves both energy and bandwidth of the scattered radiation. Thus, lifetime broadening of the intermediate state as well as the final state does not contribute to the spectrum for scattering back into the electronic ground state of the molecule, and only the incident energy bandwidth defines the spectral resolution, allowing for high resolution measurements of molecular vibrational progressions.

Selected Applications:
  • Probing the hydrogen bond strength of liquid water using RIXS
  • One-dimensional cuts through multidimensional potential energy surfaces by tunable X-rays
  • Nuclear dynamics in RIXS and XAS of methanol
  • RIXS on CO2: parity conservation in inversion-symmetric polyatomics
