Dynamics of resonant x-ray and Auger scattering

• Anoverview of both experimental and theoretical results in the field of resonant scattering of tunable soft and hard x-ray radiation is presented, with a main focus on the closely related processes of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) and resonant Auger scattering (RAS). The review starts with an overview of fundamental dynamical aspects of RIXS illustrated for different systems. A detailed analysis of case studies with increasing complexity, considering both gas-phase and condensed matter (liquids and solids) applications, is given. In the review, the most important achievements in investigations of coupled electron-nuclear dynamics and structural aspects in studies of liquids and solids over the last two decades are outlined. To give a perspective on the insights from RIXS and RAS, the x-ray results are discussed against the background of complementary experimental techniques like vibrational infrared absorption and Raman spectroscopy, as well as small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering. Finally, recent achievements in time-resolved studies based on x-ray free-electron lasers are described.
