Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010260",
  "term": "Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A spectroscopic technique that probes electronic excitations by measuring the energy and momentum transfer of X-rays scattered inelastically from a sample. The incident X-ray energy is tuned to an absorption edge of a specific element, leading to a resonant enhancement of the scattering cross-section. This method provides detailed information about electronic structure and dynamics.",
