Abstract = {{Themagnetic properties of rare earth compounds are usually well captured
   by assuming a fully localized f shell and only considering the Hund's
   rule ground state multiplet split by a crystal electric field (CEF).
   Currently, the standard technique for probing CEF excitations in
   lanthanides is inelastic neutron scattering. Here we show that with the
   recent leap in energy resolution, resonant inelastic soft x-ray
   scattering (RIXS) has become an attractive alternative for looking at
   CEF excitations. This has been used for studying the CEF scheme in
   CeRh2Si2, a system that has been investigated intensely for more than
   two decades now but for which no consensus has been reached yet as to
   its CEF scheme. Using high energy resolution of about 30 meV as well as
   polarization analysis in the scattered beam, both features that have
   become available only very recently in RIXS, allowed us to find a unique
   CEF description for CeRh2Si2. The result agrees well with previous
   inelastic neutron scattering and magnetic susceptibility studies. Due to
   its strong resonant character, RIXS is applicable to very small samples,
   presents very high cross sections for all lanthanides, and further
   benefits from the very weak coupling to phonon excitations. The
   foreseeable further progress in energy resolution will make this
   technique increasingly attractive for the investigation of the CEF
   scheme in lanthanides.}},
