Understanding the confinement of fast ions is crucial for plasma heating and non-inductive current drive, i.e., for the operation of a fusion reactor.

The anisotropic electronic structure of MgB2C2 was studied using soft X-ray emission spectroscopy electron microscopes. MgB2C2 fragments were selected by examining C K-emission profiles. C and B K-emission and Mg L-emission spectra were obtained, revealing common and distinct structures that reflect the mixing of valence orbitals.

The hybridization state in solids often defines the critical chemical and physical properties of a compound. However, it is difficult to spectroscopically detect and evaluate hybridization beyond just general fingerprint signatures. Here, the valence-band hybridization of metal d-derived bands (short: "metal d bands") in selected metal sulphides is studied with a combined spectroscopic and theoretical approach to derive deeper insights into the fundamental nature of such compounds.

This study proposes a simple evaluation method for deriving L-absorption information from two L-emission spectra of 3d transition metal (TM) elements obtained at two different accelerating voltages. This method realizes a spatial identity for X-ray emission and absorption spectroscopies. This method was evaluated for the Fe L-emission spectra of Fe and its oxides and was applied to the TM L-emission spectra of MnO, Co, CoO and NiO.

Here, we report a synchrotron-based high-resolution soft X-ray emission spectroscopy study on hydrogen-bonded structures of water molecules in the self-organized, hydroxy-group-functionalized one-dimensional nanochannels of liquid crystalline nanostructured membranes. The water molecules confined in the uncharged hydroxy-functionalized nanochannels (which have a diameter of about 1.5 nm) exhibit hydrogen-bonded structures close to those of bulk liquid water, even directly interacting with diol groups.
