Excitonic Calculations of ELNES: Low Energy and High Energy Spectra
نویسندگان
چکیده
ELNES originates from electron transition from core orbital to conduction band, and the electron transition follows electron dipole transition. Thus, ELNES profile reflects the partial density of state of selected elements in the conduction band. By combining the aberration corrected STEM, electronic structure analysis with atomic resolution is possible. Thus, the EELS have been extensively observed for understanding the atomic and electronic structure of materials.

Carbon K edge structures of molecular crystals from first-principles: A comparison between phenanthrene and anthracene
By means of ab-initio calculations on the basis of the FPLAPW method, we compared the energy loss near edge structure (ELNES) of carbon K edges in crystalline phenanthrene and its isomer, anthracene. In these two organic compounds, different non-equivalent carbon atoms can result in distinct K edge spectra due to the different carbon-carbon bond lengths, as a characteristic behavior of the mole...

Electron energy-loss near-edge fine structure (ELNES) of group-III nitrides is calculated using a pseudopotential plan wave method within the framework of density functional theory. Core-hole effect and supercell size influence are investigated. Based on our present and earlier work, a comprehensive understanding of theoretical ELNES application in materials research is demonstrated: interpreti...
متن کاملN-K ELNES study of anisotropy effects in hexagonal AlN.
Anisotropic effects in hexagonal aluminium nitride have been studied by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in the N-K energy loss near edge structure (ELNES). Experimental data acquired with different collection angles and with a nearly parallel incident electron beam aligned along the c-axis have been compared to simulations based on ab initio calculations. The extraction of intrinsic pa...
متن کاملTheory and Parameter Free Calculations of EELS and X-ray Spectra
There has been significant progress in both the theory and calculations of x-ray absorption (XAS), electron energy loss (EELS) and related spectroscopies [1,2]. These techniques are widely used to probe the properties of complex materials. Here we focus primarily on EELS, in which fast electrons are used as probe particles from modern scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM). The advan...
متن کاملElectron energy loss spectrum of graphane from first-principles calculations.
In this study, the energy loss near edge structure (ELNES) of carbon atoms in chair and tricycle conformers of hydrogenated graphene, namely 'graphane', has been calculated in the density functional theory using FP-LAPW method, and then, it has been compared with that of graphite and graphene. Using ELNES from chair conformer, the carbon K-edge was found to have a few main features including el...
