d−dExcitations in Manganites Probed by Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering

Abstract
We report a study of electronic excitations in manganites exhibiting a range of ground states, using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Mn K edge. Excitations with temperature dependent changes correlated with the magnetism were observed as high as 10 eV. By calculating Wannier functions, and finite-q response functions, we associate this dependence with intersite d−d excitations. The calculated dynamical structure factor is found to be similar to the RIXS spectra.
