Abstract
Resonant soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES) has become a powerful tool for investigating the electronic structure of a large variety of materials and systems. This is due to the vastly improved performance of third generation high brightness synchrotron radiation sources and soft X-ray emission spectroscopy dedicated beamlines. The experiments presented here were performed at two synchrotron facilities: beamline 7.0.1 at the Advanced Light Source (Berkeley, CA, USA) and beamline I5-11c at MAXLAB (Lund, Sweden). We show that resonant soft X-ray emission spectroscopy can give valuable information about the electronic structure of highly correlated materials such as cuprates and vanadates. Recently, we have succeeded in constructing soft X-ray window-sealed liquid cell containers for the study of the electronic structure of liquid state samples. Here we present some first results from salt solutions showing how information on the water–ion interaction can be extracted.
