From: Probing light-driven quantum materials with ultrafast resonant inelastic X-ray scattering
a A material is driven out of equilibrium by an ultrafast optical pump and then probed with short, delayed X-ray pulses with energy and momentum (ki, ωi) resonantly tuned to a specific absorption edge, which are scattered off the sample with energy and momentum (kf, ωf). The scattered photon energy is resolved by spatially separating different spectral components onto a charge-coupled device (CCD) detector with either a diffraction grating or a crystal analyzer. b Time-dependent sequence of the trRIXS process.
