Abstract = {{We studied the neutral electronic excitations of NiO localized at the Ni
   sites by measuring the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS)
   spectra at the Ni M-2,M-3 edges. The good energy resolution allows an
   unambiguous identification of several spectral features due to dd
   excitations. The dependence of the RIXS spectra on the excitation energy
   gives evidence of local spin flip and yields a value of 125 +/- 15 meV
   for the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction. Accurate crystal field
   parameters are also obtained.}},
