Description
Functional properties of materials are determined by a coupled dynamics of many electronic, spin and nuclear degrees of freedom, often taking place in ultrafast timescales from femto- to picoseconds. Understanding the forces governing these processes is a major experimental and theoretical challenge, and it is crucial for the rational design of more efficient functional materials, e.g. utilized in solar energy conversion, catalysis and molecular spintronics. In this talk I will discuss the potential of time-resolved resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering (RIXS) for investigations of such complex dynamics, with a particular emphasis on electron transfer and spin-transition processes. I will present results of time-resolved RIXS experiments from the LCLS and outline future capabilities of high repetition rate LCLS-II.
