Schematic illustrations of core-level phenomena. The XAS and XPS processes involve excitation into a virtual bound molecular orbital or into the continuum, respectively, whereas the XES signal is produced by radiative relaxation of a valence electron into a core hole. The nonlinear RIXS phenomenon can be described as a coherent combination of XAS and XES transitions.
