25. The correct expression (modified Bragg law) contains also the real part of the optical index, which varies strongly across the Fe 2p absorption edge.
26. Because of their position, these structures may also correspond to the so-called half-integer peaks, a sign of a superstructure of double period. Such peaks are often associated to the presence of AF order (see Ref. 17 and discussion of Fig. 9). In our case, this interpretation can be excluded on the basis of off-resonance measurements performed at 650 eV, still showing the additional structures. Our results suggest that second order contamination in the x-ray beam should be carefully checked before interpreting half order peaks as of magnetic origin.
