Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is an extremely valuable tool for the study of elementary, including magnetic, excitations in matter. The latest developments of this technique have mostly been aimed at improving the energy resolution and performing polarization analysis of the scattered radiation, with a great impact on the interpretation and applicability of RIXS. Instead, this article focuses on the sample environment and presents a setup for high-pressure low-temperature RIXS measurements of low-energy excitations. The feasibility of these experiments is proved by probing the magnetic excitations of the bilayer iridate SrIrO at pressures up to 12 GPa.
共振非弹性X射线散射(RIXS)是研究物质中的基本激发(包括磁激发)的极其有价值的工具。该技术的最新进展主要旨在提高能量分辨率并对散射辐射进行偏振分析,这对RIXS的解释和适用性产生了重大影响。相反,本文重点关注样品环境,并展示了一种用于低能激发的高压低温RIXS测量装置。通过探测双层铱酸盐SrIrO在高达12 GPa压力下的磁激发,证明了这些实验的可行性。
