Abstract

Since the availability of monochromators in transmission electron microscopes (TEMs), electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS) is widely used to determine band gaps and the dielectric properties of semiconductors on a nano-metre scale. Nevertheless, three physical effects hamper straightforward analysis: (a) relativistic energy losses, (b) the delocalization of the energy loss which is in the 10 nano-metreer range for valence losses, and (c) the presence of interface plasmons. When reducing the operation voltage of the TEM one can kill two birds with one stone: (a) the relativistic losses will disappear as soon as ve
