Difference between the experimental NIXS spectra measured at the uranium O4,5 edges in single-crystal UO2 with momentum transfer direction = along [001] and [111]. Calculations assuming a Γ5 triplet crystal field ground state and a crystal field potential strength compatible with inelastic neutron scattering experiments are shown by the solid line.
