High-resolution nonresonant x-ray Raman scattering study on rare earth phosphate nanoparticles

We report high-resolution x-ray Raman scattering studies of high-order multipole spectra of rare earth $4d\to 4f$ excitations (the ${{N}_{4,5}}$ absorption edge) in nanoparticles of the phosphates LaPO _4 , CePO _4 , PrPO _4 , and NdPO _4 . We also present corresponding data for La $5p\to 5d$ excita...
