Resonant X-ray scattering is a method which combines high-
der=""0"" height=19 width=""13""/> resolution X-ray elastic diffraction and atomic core-hole spectroscopy for investigating electronic and magnetic long-range or
dered structures in con
densed matter. During recent years the
development of theoretical mo
dels to
describe resonant X-ray scattering amplitu
des and the evolution of experimental techniques, which inclu
de the control and analysis of linear photon polarization and the introduction of extreme environment conditions such as low temperatures, high magnetic field and high pressures, have opened a new field of investigation in the domain of strongly correlated electron systems.
