a REXS experimental setup in the σπ scattering channel. The ψ0 (ψ90) orientation corresponds to the configuration where the crystal c axis points perpendicular (within) the vertical scattering plane. b, c Energy dependence of the Q = (5, 5, 0) Bragg reflection with the ψ0 and ψ90 crystal orientations, at various temperatures. d Azimuthal dependence of the (5, 5, 0) reflection at Eq and at 20 K demonstrates the θ = x2y2 symmetry of the antiferroic quadrupolar qθ[001] order. The dashed (dotted) lines depict the calculated azimuthal dependence of the quadrupoles with xy,z2 (xz,yz) symmetry. e Integrated intensity of the (5, 5, 0) peak at the magnetic resonance Em and ψ0 azimuth indicates the onset of the antiferroic mxy[001] order of Re magnetic dipoles below 18 K. f, g Integrated intensity of the (5, 5, 0) and (5, 3, 0) peaks measured at Eq and off-resonance, respectively, to detect the antiferroic qx2y2[001] and dx2y2[001] orders. h The (10, 0, 0) peak measured at Eq resonance which is indicative of the ferroic qz2[000] order. i The γ splitting of the (10,0,0) reflection to reflect the ordering of dz2[000]. The error bars correspond to the standard deviation.
