Peaklike structures in the high energy-loss tail of the dynamic structure factor of simple metals were predicted by many-body perturbation theory of the homogeneous electron gas beyond the random-phase approximation [1]. Such structures were experimentally observed in the dynamic structure factor of Aluminium and, based on a comparison with the calculations, were attributed to intrinsic double-plasmon excitations because of the distinct momentum transfer dependence of their energy position and intensity [2]. A systematic inelastic x-ray scattering study of this kind of excitations for different materials as a function of electron density was accomplished recently at beamline ID16 of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The measured spectra of the intrinsic plasmon-plasmon excitations will be discussed and compared with corresponding calculations.
