Understanding quantum materials—solids in which interactions among constituent electrons yield a great variety of novel emergent quantum phenomena—is a forefront challenge in modern condensed matter physics. This goal has driven the invention and refinement of several experimental methods, which can spectroscopically determine the elementary excitations and correlation functions that determine material properties. Here we focus on the future experimental and theoretical trends of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), which is a remarkably versatile and rapidly growing technique for probing different charge, lattice, spin, and orbital excitations in quantum materials. We provide a forward-looking introduction to RIXS and outline how this technique is poised to deepen our insight into the nature of quantum materials and of their emergent electronic phenomena.

探索具有共振非弹性 X 射线散射的量子材料


理解量子材料（组成电子之间相互作用产生大量新型新兴量子现象的固体）是现代凝聚态物理学面临的一项前沿挑战。这一目标推动了几种实验方法的发明和改进，这些方法可以光谱学确定决定材料特性的基本激发和相关函数。在这里，我们重点介绍共振非弹性 X 射线散射 （RIXS） 的未来实验和理论趋势，RIXS 是一种用途广泛且发展迅速的技术，用于探测量子材料中的不同电荷、晶格、自旋和轨道激发。我们对 RIXS 进行了前瞻性介绍，并概述了这项技术如何加深我们对量子材料及其新兴电子现象本质的了解。 美国物理学会 2024 年出版
