Abstract

Recent instrumental advances have opened an important window for studying magnetic excitations with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). This contribution outlines the main theoretical and experimental aspects underlying this spectroscopic technique. The aspects discussed cover self-absorption corrections, scattering geometry, resonant scattering cross sections and methods for identifying and exploiting spectral information. State of the art diffraction grating spectrometers are assessed in view of RIXS opportunities that lie ahead.
