1s2p RIXS Calculations for 3d Transition Metal Ions in Octahedral Symmetry

Figure 7

Calculated 1s2p RIXS map for 10Dq = 3.0 eV with 2p XES projection for Cu²⁺ (3d⁹) for 10Dq = 3.0 eV. The 2p XES appears identical to the 2p XAS. The mixing induced by the crystal field symmetry breakdown enables to populate the and final states in direct 2p XAS.
