Figure 2 The reciprocal plane (qx, qz) showing the specular rod (qx = 0) and the equidistantly spaced diffraction rods ( = 0.0001  Å-1 for our sample). The qx scans (rocking scans) for = 4° and 12° at the Ni L3 resonance ( = 14.5  Å) are shown by the thick grey horizontal lines. The qz scan (specular scan) is along the specular rod (qx = 0) as shown by the thick black vertical line. The grey areas indicate the inaccessible region.
