Simulating electron energy loss spectroscopy with the MNPBEM toolbox

Plasmonics simulations with the MNPBEM toolbox: Consideration of substrates and layer structures

Within the MNPBEM toolbox, developed for the simulation of plasmonic nanoparticles using a boundary element method approach, we show how to include substrate and layer structure effects. We develop the methodology for solving Maxwell’s equations using scalar and vector potentials within the inhomogeneous dielectric environment of a layer structure. We show that the implementation of our approac...

Non-Isothermal Degradation Kinetics of High Energy Protons Irradiated Polyvinyl Butyral

This research is aimed to undertake a comparative study on stability and thermal degradation kinetics of un-irradiated and high energy protons irradiated polyvinyl butyral (PVB) based on weight loss analysis and non-isothermal approaches. The weight loss by the un-irradiated PVB upon heating was found to be in two stages but due to high energy protons accelerated exposure following by chemical ...

Functional Materials Characterization by Electron Microscopy and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy to characterize several functional materials. Along with the fast development of science and technology, the studied materials is becoming more complicated and smaller. All these achievements has advanced with the fast development of powerful tools currently, such as Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Focused Ion Beam(FIB), Transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Electron energy los...
