Cation distribution in transition-metal oxides is closely tied to their physical properties. Here we employed resonant x-ray-diffraction technique and quantitatively evaluated the cation inverse spinel $\mathrm{NiC}{\mathrm{o}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ films that were epitaxially grown by pulsed laser deposition.
