A recent study demonstrated that, in principle, the same information can be accessed with picosecond hard X-ray emission spectroscopy, facilitating sample handling but suffering from low signal and stronger lifetime broadening; see: Vankó, G.; Glatzel, P.; Pham, V.-T.; Abela, R.; Grolimund, D.; Borca, C.
