The PEO reflection labeled (032) actually contains overlapped reflections from (032), (132), (112), (212), (124), (204), and (004), which have similar d-spacing of ∼0.39 nm, with that from (032) being the strongest. They cannot be easily separated in (032) pole figure. Details can be found in (16).
