“…Within the V L 3 ‐region, three main peaks are discernable at 516.3 eV (t 2 , Peak 2), 517.3 eV (Peak 3), and 518.5 eV (e, Peak 4) originating from the ligand field splitting of V 3d states. [ 2b,12 ] Specifically, the peak at 516.3 eV (Peak 2) is composed of V 3 and 3 states, and the peak at 518.5 eV (Peak 4) of V 3d xy , 3d yz , and 3d zx states. [ 13 ] A small shoulder is observed at a photon energy of ≈515.3 eV (Peak 1), which can be attributed to core hole exciton or to excitation of an electron into a small polaronic state at V 4+ sites generated by Mo‐doping.…”
