X-Ray Scattering GroupHighest occupied Mn 3d orbital

The central objective of this group is to carry out basic studies of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of condensed matter systems using synchrotron-based x-ray scattering techniques. Particular emphasis is placed on electronic and magnetic structure and phase behavior, on electronic excitations in solids and on the investigation of surface and interfacial phenomena. The X-ray Scattering Group also develops instrumentation, maintains and operates three beamlines at the National Synchrotron Light Source and is involved in the development and use of two sectors at the Advanced Photon Source. Major long-term objectives of the former effort include understanding the nature and role of electronic excitations and an investigation into the issues of dimensionality, surface behavior and nanostructuring in strongly correlated systems. Inelastic x-ray scattering and resonant scattering experiments will be carried out in close collaboration with related efforts in CMPMSD and at BNL to address these questions.
