The polarization dependent of O K edge NEXAFS spectra indicate a strong hybridization of O 2p-4d Mo orbitals followed by a strong anisotropy in the electronic properties. An unquenched orbital magnetic moment within the O 2p shell is clearly evident from the XMCD O K edge, which is ferromagnetically coupled to the neighboring Mo moments as confirmed by Mo M-3,M-2 edge XMCD experiment.
