Abstract
The measurements on radioactive actinide isotopes (curium-248) were performed using very small sample quantities (micrograms) to minimize the sample activity. Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of curium oxide at the Cm $5d$ edge were measured for the first time. RIXS data are compared with theoretical calculations using atomic multiplet theory. The results indicate that isotope curium $\ensuremath{-}248$ in the curium oxide sample has oxidation state III due to the best agreement with RIXS calculations for Cm (III) instead of those for Cm (IV).
