- Abstract summary: We report the observation of a novel nonlinear effect in the hard x-ray range.
The spectrum of emitted high-energy photons comprises multiple Raman lines that disperse with the incident photon energy.
We attribute these processes to electron-correlation mediated multielectron transitions involving double-core hole excitation and various two-electron de-excitation processes to a final state involving one or more L and M core-holes.

- Abstract: We report the observation of a novel nonlinear effect in the hard x-ray
range. Upon illuminating Fe and Cu metal foils with intense x-ray pulses tuned
near their respective K edges, photons at nearly twice the incoming photon
energy are emitted. The signal rises quadratically with the incoming intensity,
consistent with two-photon excitation. The spectrum of emitted high-energy
photons comprises multiple Raman lines that disperse with the incident photon
energy. Upon reaching the double K-shell ionization threshold, the signal
strength undergoes a marked rise. Above this threshold, the lines cease
dispersing, turning into orescence lines with energies much greater than
obtainable by single electron transitions, and additional Raman lines appear.
We attribute these processes to electron-correlation mediated multielectron
transitions involving double-core hole excitation and various two-electron
de-excitation processes to a final state involving one or more L and M
core-holes.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
