Further analysis of the resonant photoemission data, found within Sundar et al (2016 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 28 315502), show the intensities do not follow the elemental composition in the Mo Re alloy. Similar trends are observed in the published data for Gd Ni alloy films. The analysis of the resonant photoemission intensities suggests that Mo in the Mo Re alloy and Gd in the Gd Ni alloy have nearest neighbor bonds to Re and Ni respectively. This means the A-B bond is favored over the average of the A-A bond and the B-B bond in these binary alloys, so that the short range order favors strong local ordering rather than clustering alloys.
