I’m starting to look at some orientation dependent effects for low-loss stuff (i.e. found as part of the Optics module). The processing module in CASTEP allows one to specify a polarisation vector in three boxes, so

0 0 1 would be the beam parallel to the c / z axis. This is fairly logical.

I am wondering if this is the same in the core-level spectroscopy module, whereby again one can specify polarisation?

Thanks,
