Abstract

with structural Ir dimers and strong spin-orbit coupling. The double "slits" in this resonant experiment are the highly localized core levels of the two Ir atoms within a dimer. The clear double-slit-type sinusoidal interference patterns that we observe allow us to characterize the electronic excitations, demonstrating the power of RIXS interferometry to unravel the electronic structure of solids containing, e.g., dimers, trimers, ladders, or other superstructures.

• @kangermu is correct. The general principle is this: You have an initial state $|i\rangle$ , which is modeled as a plane wave incident on some slit pattern. You detect a final state $|f\rangle$ , whic [stackexchange, 1 points]
