XES spectra of water

Caption

(left) Theoretical XES spectra of water at different temperatures. Two 1b1 states are assigned as 1b1’ and 1b1”. Intensities of 1b1” are increasing with temperature, whereas those of 1b1’ are decreasing, which is the same trend with the experiment. (right) Isotope dependence of theoretical XES spectra of liquid water at 300 K. The same isotope effect can be seen in the experiment, with 1b1’ peak having much lower intensity than the 1b1” for deuterium water D2O, whereas for H2O situation is reversed.
