Abstract
AbstractDy2O3 and Dy metal's resonant inelastic x‐ray scattering (RIXS) spectra were measured in the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility. As a bulk sensitive probe and two‐photon process, RIXS provides more information on the electronic structure of matter. In this full RIXS experiment, the 2p64fn→ 2p54fn5d1 (2p54fn + 15d0) → 2p63d94fn5d1 (2p63d94fn + 15d0) channel of two samples (Dy2O3 and Dy metal) was studied. Further comparison shows that there are many differences in the RIXS spectra. Dy metal has only a single resonance and its 5d band is broader than that of Dy2O3. In the resonant regime, it has a lower final state energy, whereas in the non‐resonant regime it exceeds Dy2O3. This causes a broader bandwidth of the main final state B and a narrower bandwidth in the resonant and non‐resonant regime. The pre‐edge structure in Dy L3 absorption spectra was also resolved using RIXS, which cannot be seen in conventional XAS owing to 2p core hole lifetime broadening.
