    Abstract We describe a protocol for efficient detection of the chemical state of an element based on X-ray emission (fluorescence) spectroscopy using a Bragg optics spectrometer. The ratio of intensities at two appropriately chosen X-ray emission energies is a self-normalized quantity largely free of experimental artifacts and can thus be recorded with high accuracy. As the X-ray fluorescence lines are chemically sensitive, the intensity ratio identifies the chemical state. Differences between chemical states in spatially inhomogeneous or temporally evolving samples can be identified already with low numbers of photon events. This reduces the time required for data acquisition by 2 orders of magnitude as compared to recording a full spectrum.

    Abstract We report the valence-to-core resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) of EuS measured at the L3 edge of Eu. The obtained data reveal two sets of excitations: one set is composed of a hole in the S 3p bands and an electron excited to extended Eu 5d band states, the other is made up from a hole in the Eu 4f states and an electron in localized Eu 5d states bound to the 4f hole by its Coulomb potential. The delocalized excitations arise from the dipole-allowed 5d to 2p emissions, whereas the localized excitations result from the dipole-forbidden (quadrupole-allowed) 4f to 2p emissions. Both these emission channels have a comparable intensity thanks to a small number of occupied 5d states (approximately 0.6) combined with a large number of occupied 4f states (seven). We identify the localized electron-hole pairs with the "magnetic excitons" suggested in the past as an interpretation of the sharp features seen in the optical absorption spectra. Our observations provide a direct experimental evidence of these excitons which has been missing up to now.

    Abstract K-fluorescence X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is receiving growing interest in all fields of natural sciences to investigate the local spin. The spin sensitivity in Kβ (Kα) XES stems from the exchange interaction between the unpaired 3p (2p) and the 3d electrons, which is greater for Kβ than for Kα. We present a thorough investigation of a large number of iron-bearing compounds. The experimental spectra were analyzed in terms of commonly used quantitative parameters (Kβ

    Abstract Bacteria are the most abundant organisms on Earth and also the major life form affected by mercury (Hg) poisoning in aquatic and terrestrial food webs. In this study, we applied high energy-resolution X-ray absorption near edge structure (HR-XANES) spectroscopy to bacteria with intracellular concentrations of Hg as low as 0.7 ng/mg (ppm) for identifying the intracellular molecular forms and trafficking pathways of Hg in bacteria at environmentally relevant concentrations.

    Abstract In vivo and in vitro evidence for detoxification of methylmercury (MeHg) as insoluble mercury selenide (HgSe) underlies the central paradigm that mercury exposure is not or little hazardous when tissue Se is in molar excess (Se:Hg > 1). However, this hypothesis overlooks the binding of Hg to selenoproteins, which lowers the amount of bioavailable Se that acts as a detoxification reservoir for MeHg, thereby underestimating the toxicity of mercury. This question was addressed by determining the chemical forms of Hg in various tissues of giant petrels

    Abstract Laser excitation and x-ray spectroscopy are combined to settle a long-standing question in persistent luminescence. A reversible electron transfer is demonstrated, controlled by light and showing the same kinetics as the persistent luminescence. Exposure to violet light induces charging by oxidation of the excited Eu^{2+} while Dy^{3+} is simultaneously reduced. Oppositely, detrapping of Dy^{2+} occurs at ambient temperature or by infrared illumination, yielding afterglow or optically stimulated luminescence, respectively.

    Abstract Worldwide significant efforts are ongoing to develop devices that store solar energy as fuels. In one such approach, solar energy is absorbed by semiconductors and utilized directly by catalysts at their surfaces to split water into H2 and O2. To protect the semiconductors in these photo-electrochemical cells (PEC) from corrosion, frequently thin TiO2 interlayers are applied. Employing a well-performing photoanode comprised of 1-D n-Si microwires (MWs) covered with a mesoporous (mp) TiO2 interlayer fabricated by solution processing and functionalized with α-Fe2O3 nanorods, we studied here the function of this TiO2 interlayer by high-energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption near edge structure (HERFD-XANES) spectroscopy, along with X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and standard characterization techniques. Our data reveal that the TiO2 interlayer not only protects the n-Si MW surface from corrosion, but that it also acts as a template for the hydrothermal growth of α-Fe2O3 nanorods and improves the photocatalytic efficiency. We show that the latter effect correlates with the presence of stable oxygen vacancies at the interface between mp-TiO2 and α-Fe2O3, which act as electron traps and thereby substantially reduce the charge recombination rate at the hematite surface.

    Abstract This Progress Report discusses the chemical sensitivity of Kβ valence to core X-ray emission spectroscopy (vtc-XES) and its applications for investigating 3d-transition-metal based materials. Vtc-XES can be used for ligand identification and for the characterization of the valence electronic levels. The technique provides information that is similar to valence band photoemission spectroscopy but the sample environment can be chosen freely and thus allows measurements in presence of gases and liquids and it can be applied for measurements under in situ/operando or extreme conditions. The theoretical basis of the technique is presented using a one-electron approach and the vtc-XES spectral features are interpreted using ground state density functional theory calculations. Some recent results obtained by vtc-XES in various scientific fields are discussed to demonstrate the potential and future applications of this technique. Resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy is briefly introduced with some applications for the study of 3d and 5d-transition-metal based systems.
