RESONANT RAMAN-SCATTERING OF X-RAYS - EVIDENCE FOR K-M SCATTERING

Resonant Raman x-ray scattering on molybdenum was studied using a Mo-anode x-ray tube and a LiF crystal monochromator. Beside the usual resonant Raman peak corresponding to the fluorescent K lines, another peak with a smaller energy loss was found. It is attributed to resonant Raman scattering with a final-state M-shell vacancy corresponding to the fluorescent K2 lines. Both contributions are shown to be independent of the scattering angle. Absolute cross sections have been determined and compared with theoretical predictions. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
