Studying low-energy core-valence transitions with bulk sensitivity using q-dependent NIXS

▶ Many core-valence transitions accessible in NIXS for heavy and light elements. ▶ Dipole-dominated NIXS data complements soft X-ray XAS measurements. ▶ Non-dipole transitions are observable for different initial states. ▶ Multipole transitions are sensitive to local electronic behavior. ▶ Access to f-type final states is possible from more than just d-type initial states.
