Energy dependent Lorentzian broadening in RIXS?
asked by Hebatalla Elnaggar (2020/02/11 10:36)
Dear Maurits,
Is it possible to calculate RIXS with energy dependent Lorentzian broadening? One can divide the map into regions and calculate them separately but I think this could cause some artefacts. Any suggestions?
Best regards, Heba

dear Heba,
At the moment this is not possible. We are working on ways to do this, it is not as trivial as one would like.
Best wishes, Maurits
Dear Maurits,
Has there been any progress on this? I am currently working on simulating lanthanide XAS/RIXS with Quanty and I cannot make a terribly good match at the sharp pre-edge peaks and the giant resonance region simultaneously. I also cannot get a great match on the RIXS intensities wrt. experiment and one potential reason is that I miss some interference effects between the pre-edges and the giant resonance. I could even try to help with implementing term dependent lifetimes if a pair of hands could be useful here.
Best regards, Kari
Dear Maurits,
Sorry to bother you. I really would like to know whether there is any update about an energy dependent Lorentzian broadening in RIXS.
I am simulating 5d TM L3 RIXS. I can clearly a see a progressive increase of the lorentzian broadening with the Eloss from 0.4 to 1.2 eV. There is now way I can properly simulate the excitations lineshape both at low and high energy using a broadening constant over the full Eloss range from 0 to 15 eV.
As suggested by Heba, I might calculate RIXS regions using different FWHM and put them together. But the artifacts are quite ugly.
Thank you very much
