RIXS $L_{2,3}M_{1}$
Instead of looking at low energy excitations one can use RIXS to look at core-core excitations. A powerful technique comparable to other core level spectroscopies like x-ray absorption and core-level photoemission at once.
Here a script to calculate the Ni $2p$ to $3d$ excitation ($L_{2,3}$) and Ni $3s$ to $2p$ decay ($M_{1}$).

Just like in the case of $L_{2,3}M_{4,5}$ edge RIXS we can make plots:
 |
| Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra for different incoming and outgoing photon energies. |
|---|
The first shows on the left the XAS spectra in black and the integrated RIXS spectra (FY) in blue. The core-core RIXS is shown on the right.
 |
| Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra for different incoming and outgoing photon energies. |
|---|
The second plot shows the same RIXS spectra, but now as an intensity map.
