Valence-to-core RIXS at the uranium M5 edge in UO2 and UF4 — •Ondrej Stejskal and Jindrich Kolorenc — Institute of Physics (FZU), Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic

Motivated by a recent experimental study [1], we simulate the valence-to-core resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measured at the uranium M5 edge in insulating compounds UO2 and UF4. To do so, we employ the Anderson impurity model from LDA+DMFT electronic-structure calculations [2]. We find that the feature experimentally observed at an energy loss of roughly 10 eV above the white line reflects the charge-transfer excitations from the uranium 5f to the ligand 2p states, in agreement with other closely related investigations [3]. We analyze how the intensity of this feature depends on the metal–ligand hybridization and discuss whether there is a direct link between the energy loss, at which the feature is observed, and the band gap as argued in [1].
