Fig. 55: Energy dependence of orbital reflection (3,-1,1)m (upper panel) and the relative azimuthal dependence (lower panel) in the two polarisation channel - (closed circles) and - (open circles). The sharp resonance appears at the threshold of Vanadium K-photoabsorption edge (E = 5.465 keV) in both polarisation channels and corresponds to the quadrupolar transitions from 1s to 3d electronic states.
