Simulation of ultra-fast dynamics effects in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering of gas-phase water

Resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering maps for the water molecule are simulated by combining quantum chemical calculations of X-ray spectroscopy with ab initio molecular dynamics. The resonant inelastic scattering intensity is computed using the Kramers–Heisenberg formalism, which accounts for ch...
