Abstract
Soft x-ray emission through the 4d-4f resonance of Dy2O3 is studied with mo nochromatic photon excitation. The different soft x-ray emission processes are compared and it is found that inelastic scattering due to 4f inner-shel l excitation and resonant elastic scattering are the strongest emission pro cesses followed by inelastic scattering due to 5p-4f net transitions. The n onresonant emission occurring for excitation energies above the 4d-4f reson ance is an extremely weak process. The measurements are in good agreement w ith our calculations.
