7. X-ray dichroism implies excitations from inner shells, which are filled in the ground state and can therefore be “integrated out.” As a result, one-electron properties of valence states are probed in the x-ray region.

14. Integration is over a finite-energy interval, which corresponds to the two partners of a spin-orbit split inner shell.
15. The relation (formula presented) holds for (formula presented) In general, l and (formula presented) must be of opposite parities. As pointed out by C. Brouder (private communication), the values (formula presented) and (formula presented) are permitted in the matrix element (formula presented) for (formula presented) A re-definition of (formula presented) to include (formula presented) hybridization is required in this case.
16. Sum rules for pure (formula presented) or (formula presented) transitions were derived by representing valence-electron states within an (formula presented) basis. In this case, the pertinent order parameters are derived from the generators of rotation groups: the components of spin and orbital angular momentum. Such a formulation can be extended to include parity-conserving hybridization; for example, it can be shown that pure (formula presented) linear dichroism mixes (formula presented) and (formula presented) Discussion of these effects is beyond the scope of the current paper.
17. In Eq. (5), the radial integrals are defined by (formula presented)where (formula presented) and (formula presented) denote inner-shell and valence radial wave functions, respectively. Our derivation neglects relativistic corrections to the radial part of the atomic wave functions.
18. It is the magnetic field of the so-called magnetoelectric annealing, a standard technique for creating a single magnetoelectric domain in the crystal.

21. Notice that (formula presented) in Ref. 19 and (formula presented) in Ref. 10. As shown by the phase diagram of D B. McWhan and J P. Remeika [Phys. Rev. B2, 3734 (1970)], the two substitutions are equivalent.
