Abstract
The results of model calculations using exact diagonalization reveal
the orbital character of states associated with different Raman loss
peaks in Cu K-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) from
La2CuO4. The model includes electronic orbitals necessary to highlight
the nonlocal Zhang-Rice singlet, charge transfer, and d-d excitations,
as well as states with apical oxygen 2pz character. The dispersion
of these excitations is discussed with prospects for resonant final
state wave-function mapping. A good agreement with experiments emphasizes
the substantial multiorbital character of RIXS profiles in the energy
transfer range 1–6 eV.
