(a) The O K-edge XAS of LSCO at 23 K measured with the fluorescence yield mode with X-rays of σ polarization. (b) RIXS spectrum of LSCO with the incident energy tuned to ZRS with q∥ = 0.12 and q⊥ = 1.0. The duration of exposure to record the RIXS data shown in the black circles was 2 h. The red curve is the summation of the fitted components and a linear background function. Other colour curves are fitted Voigt functions for elastic scattering and phonon excitations. The inset illustrates the scattering geometry with q = kin − kout, in which kin and kout are incident and scattered wavevectors, respectively. a and c are crystallographic axes of LSCO. The scattering angle 2θ was 150°. |
