Probing the orbital ordering Resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) : An Incident photon excites an electron to a higher level. The Electron emits a photon and falls to a lower state.
La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 1s4p (PRL 80, 1932. Murakami et. al.) 1. The energy of 4p state is affected by the electrons at 3d state. 2. The energies of 4p state of Mn3+ and Mn4+ are different. 3. Intensity varies with the direction of polarization due to the Aj coupling. 4. Incident photon: polarization. z-axis: b direction. orbitals: y2-z2 and x2-z2.
