Abstract
We have studied the metal-insulator (ME) transition in VO2 with angle resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Above TMI the
oxygen K near edge structure shows two resolved peaks, the intensities of which do not change if the polarization vector £ is related
within the rutile (ab) piane, hut vary by a factor of two when E is rotated in the (ac) plane. Betow TMI we observe a third peak, which
shows strong angular dependence: it vanishes for E ⊥ crut, and is largest for E || crut, confirming earlier suggestions that this peak is due
to the so called d | band. We find analogous features in the M2 and T phases of Cr doped VO2 From comparisons of fliese spectra we
conclude that shifls in the do band between the insulating and metallic phase are primarily due to the effect of correlations and the other
shifts to the formation of rimers; tilting of the dtmers plays only a minor role.
