L3- and L2-edge RIXS spectra. a, b L3-edge (E i = 9.879 keV) a and L2-edge (E i = 11.133 keV) b RIXS spectra as a function of momentum transfer Q and energy loss. Three orbital excitations are clearly noticed at the 0.27, 0.7, 1.3 eV energy-loss positions in a. In sharp contrast, only two peaks at 0.27 and 0.7 eV are visible in b, and the broad peak at 1.3 eV is not observed. c, d L3-edge c and L2-edge d RIXS spectra as a function of incident sample angle θ and energy loss. 2θ is fixed at 90°. Clearly, the broad peak at 1.3 eV is absent for L2-edge
