Inelastic X-ray scattering from phonons: status and perspectives<br />

Michael Krisch 1<br />

Inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) with meV energy resolution has become a powerful<br />

spectroscopic tool in the study of phonon dispersion in condensed matter. The most<br />

important aspects distinguishing IXS from the well-established coherent inelastic neutron<br />

scattering (INS) techniques are the absence of kinematic li<strong>mit</strong>ations and the possibility<br />

to study very small sample quantities (down to 10 −5 mm 3 ). This has opened<br />

up new possibilities in research fields ranging from biology to geophysics. The aim of<br />

the contribution is to illustrate the present capabilities of IXS and to discuss future<br />

perspectives.
