We review recent studies using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) or also here denoted X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) on liquid water and the assignment of the two sharp peaks in the lone-pair region. Using the excitation... more
We present the results of the uniform analysis of 46 XMM-Newton observations of six BAL and seven mini-BAL QSOs belonging to the Palomar-Green Quasar catalogue. Moderate-quality X-ray spectroscopy was performed with the EPIC-pn, and... more
An extremely high resolution flat field type slit less soft x-ray emission spectrometer has been designed and constructed for the long undulator beamline BL07LSU in SPring-8. By optimizing the ruling parameters of two cylindrical... more
The polarization dependence of the split two peaks in the lone-pair region in the x-ray emission spectra has been determined at several different excitation energies for both D2O and H2O water. In contrast to predictions based on a narrow... more
O 1s X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy is applied to probe hydrogen bonding of water (D2O) in 3-methylpyridine. Owing to element selectivity of X-ray spectroscopies the electronic structure of water in the binary mixture... more
We present Mn Kb (3p->1s) emission data as a contour map over wide energy ranges in both excitation and emission. It is demonstrated that spin-polarized x-ray absorption near edge structure (SPXANES) can be deduced by analyzing the data... more
We investigate the hydrodynamics of accretion channelled by a dipolar magnetic field (funnel flows). We consider situations in which the electrons and ions in the flow cannot maintain thermal equilibrium [two-temperature (2T) effects] due... more
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to demonstrate the presence of density fluctuations in ambient water on a physical length-scale of ≈1 nm; this is retained with decreasing temperature while the magnitude is enhanced. In... more
The electronic structure of a material is important in many fields of science, because valence electrons play important roles in the properties of many systems including molecules in liquids and solutions. Recent studies have applied... more
The von Hámos spectrometer setup at the HED instrument of the European XFEL is described in detail. The spectrometer is designed to be operated primarily between 5 and 15 keV to complement the operating photon energy range of the HED... more
We developed a method of determining the X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectrum through high-accuracy measurement of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering, without any limits on resolution of the inner-shell lifetime broadening.... more
A laboratory-use high-resolution X-ray spectrometer, where spherically-bent crystal analyzers are employed around 80°of Bragg angles, was constructed to measure Kβ1,3 emission spectra of Cr and Fe compounds. Spectral changes, including... more
We have developed a program for simulating resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), SIM-RIXS that can be run on personal computerswithaMicrosoftWindowsXP/Vista operating system. RIXS primarily reflects lifetime-broadening-suppressed... more
We report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study of crystalline CeB6. Ce Lα1,2 RIXS was measured with excitation energies resonant with the Ce L3-edge. A lifetime-broadening suppressed x-ray absorption near-edge structure... more
In this paper, we have examined analytical spectrometry using Eu Lg4. The oxidation-state-fluctuating compound EuPd2Si2 exhibits the largest temperature-induced valence changes among all Eu systems and does not have a structural phase... more
We use a two-temperature hydrodynamical formulation to determine the temperature and density structures of the post-shock accretion flows in magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) and calculate the corresponding X-ray spectra. The effects... more
A new type of collector optics was developed for grazing incident x-ray emission spectrometer. The collector optics used two cylindrical mirrors to add two extra light paths while keeping the center light path that directly illuminates... more

We use resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy and model calculations to quantify the ligand: heme-Fe energy structure of aqueous myoglobins. For reduced (Fe 2+) and oxidized (Fe 3+) states, the removal or addition of an electron primarily... more
Kb resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of Mn and Ga compounds are studied to examine different types of selective XANES. RIXS spectra of MnO in Mn Kb1,3 region and of GaCl2 in Ga Kb2 region are plotted as contour maps over... more
