Abstract:
The electronic structure of quasi-low-dimensional solids is a topic of enduring interest due to the complex
many-body interactions that exist in such materials and their resulting exotic physical properties. A well studied
class of such materials is the quasi-low-dimensional metals known collectively as molybdenum oxide bronzes.
These materials are all derived from the band insulator
-MoO
3
. We report here a study of the electronic
structure of
-MoO
3
using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering and soft x-ray emission spectroscopy. We observe
significant variation in x-ray scattering as a function of the relative orientation of the polarization vector of the
incident light and the crystal axes. We interpret our data using a model of
k
-selective soft x-ray scattering
