Description

We present carbon K emission spectra of diamond excited with high-resolution undulator radiation. The valence-band emission spectra are shown to be strongly dependent on the excitation energy, up to 20--30 eV above the C K edge. It is proposed that the dependence is indicative of the resonant inelastic scattering description of these emission spectra, i.e., the absorption-emission process should be described as a single scattering event where the momenta of the photoelectron and the valence hole in the final state are related by momentum conservation
