Oliver Thomas explores the use of Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) when mapping electronic structures - both stable and excited electronic states.

 

In the paper 'Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering in energy materials research and beyond', published in Nature Reviews: Clean Technology, Mr Thomas explains how RIXS can be used effectively in experiments with cathode materials, and enable precise measurement data, thereby providing the tools to better design cathodes for higher capacity batteries.
