====== nIXS $L_{2,3}$ ======
###
Besides low energy transitions nIXS can be used as a core level spectroscopy technique. One then measures resonances with non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering :-).
###
###
This tutorial uses Radial wave functions in order to calculate the length of q dependence. You can download them in a zip file here {{ :documentation:tutorials:nio_crystal_field:nio_data.zip |}}. Please unpack this file and make sure to have the folders NiO_Experiment and NiO_Radial in the same folder as you do the calculations.

The input script:
-- using inelastic x-ray scattering one can not only measure low energy excitations,
-- but equally well core to core transitions. This allows one to probe for example
-- 3p to 3d transitions using octupole operators.
-- We use the definitions of all operators and basis orbitals as defined in the file
-- include and can afterwards directly continue by creating the Hamiltonian
-- and calculating the spectra
dofile("Include.Quanty")
-- The parameters and scheme needed is the same as the one used for XAS
-- We follow the energy definitions as introduced in the group of G.A. Sawatzky (Groningen)
-- J. Zaanen, G.A. Sawatzky, and J.W. Allen PRL 55, 418 (1985)
-- for parameters of specific materials see
-- A.E. Bockquet et al. PRB 55, 1161 (1996)
-- After some initial discussion the energies U and Delta refer to the center of a configuration
-- The L^10 d^n configuration has an energy 0
-- The L^9 d^n+1 configuration has an energy Delta
-- The L^8 d^n+2 configuration has an energy 2*Delta+Udd
--
-- If we relate this to the onsite energy of the L and d orbitals we find
-- 10 eL + n ed + n(n-1) U/2 == 0
-- 9 eL + (n+1) ed + (n+1)n U/2 == Delta
-- 8 eL + (n+2) ed + (n+1)(n+2) U/2 == 2*Delta+U
-- 3 equations with 2 unknowns, but with interdependence yield:
-- ed = (10*Delta-nd*(19+nd)*U/2)/(10+nd)
-- eL = nd*((1+nd)*Udd/2-Delta)/(10+nd)
--
-- For the final state we/they defined
-- The 2p^5 L^10 d^n+1 configuration has an energy 0
-- The 2p^5 L^9 d^n+2 configuration has an energy Delta + Udd - Upd
-- The 2p^5 L^8 d^n+3 configuration has an energy 2*Delta + 3*Udd - 2*Upd
--
-- If we relate this to the onsite energy of the p and d orbitals we find
-- 6 ep + 10 eL + n ed + n(n-1) Udd/2 + 6 n Upd == 0
-- 6 ep + 9 eL + (n+1) ed + (n+1)n Udd/2 + 6 (n+1) Upd == Delta
-- 6 ep + 8 eL + (n+2) ed + (n+1)(n+2) Udd/2 + 6 (n+2) Upd == 2*Delta+Udd
-- 5 ep + 10 eL + (n+1) ed + (n+1)(n) Udd/2 + 5 (n+1) Upd == 0
-- 5 ep + 9 eL + (n+2) ed + (n+2)(n+1) Udd/2 + 5 (n+2) Upd == Delta+Udd-Upd
-- 5 ep + 8 eL + (n+3) ed + (n+3)(n+2) Udd/2 + 5 (n+3) Upd == 2*Delta+3*Udd-2*Upd
-- 6 equations with 3 unknowns, but with interdependence yield:
-- epfinal = (10*Delta + (1+nd)*(nd*Udd/2-(10+nd)*Upd) / (16+nd)
-- edfinal = (10*Delta - nd*(31+nd)*Udd/2-90*Upd) / (16+nd)
-- eLfinal = ((1+nd)*(nd*Udd/2+6*Upd)-(6+nd)*Delta) / (16+nd)
--
--
--
-- note that ed-ep = Delta - nd * U and not Delta
-- note furthermore that ep and ed here are defined for the onsite energy if the system had
-- locally nd electrons in the d-shell. In DFT or Hartree Fock the d occupation is in the end not
-- nd and thus the onsite energy of the Kohn-Sham orbitals is not equal to ep and ed in model
-- calculations.
--
-- note furthermore that ep and eL actually should be different for most systems. We happily ignore this fact
--
-- We normally take U and Delta as experimentally determined parameters
-- number of electrons (formal valence)
