32. It should be noted here that in hexagonal crystals like graphite the fine structure of the core-edges like C K-edge as well as low-loss excitations are sensitive to the orientation of the crystal relative to the incident electron beam and scattered beam collection geometry. AU the core-edges and low-loss spectra from graphite and GO films presented here are recorded with electron beam oriented parallel to c-axis and perpendicular to the sheets and with similar collection geometry.
