2 Brief Review of Energy Loss Processes Electron Excitation of Inner Shell & Continuum Processes Spectral Shapes Notation of Edges Electron Scattering Angular Distributions The Emission Process: 1-Excitation, 2-Relaxation, 3-Emission 2
3 Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy Measure the changes in the energy distribution of an electron beam transmitted through a thin specimen. Each type of interaction between the electron beam and the specimen produces a characteristic change in the energy and angular distribution of scattered electrons. The energy loss process is the primary interaction event. All other sources of analytical information ( i.e. X-rays, Auger electrons, etc.) are secondary products of the initial inelastic event. Thus, EELS has the highest potential yield of information/inelastic event E V Electron Emission 3 Photon Emission 3 h E F M L K a b c 3

19 Two Related Methods are sometimes used: Second Difference Filtering (Shuman( etal MAS,1983) Record 3 Energy Loss Spectra which are displaced in energy by de Mathematically combine in computer to form the Second Difference (SD) Spectrum SD(E) = I (E-dE) - 2 I 1 2 (E) + I 3 (E+dE) Digital Filtering Spectrum has the appearance of a derivitive, removes channel to channel gain variation in parallel EELS and slowly varying backgrounds. Sharp features are enhanced in visibility. This is related to a simple numerical differentiation of a single spectrum 19
20 I k = P k * I o I k = Number of electron having excited a kth inner shell P k = Probability of excitation of the kth shell I o = Incident electron current P k = N k N k = Number of atoms of the element analyzed = Ionization cross-section for the kth shell Alternatively; Consider the ratio of Intensities of any two Edges in the same spectrum I and I A B Invoke the Ratio Method and obtain the exact equation: Note the similiarity of this equation with that of Thin Film XEDS 20
21 But in the real world the assumptions used above simple arguments are never realized: in the Measure all scattered electrons ( = 180 0) Integration over all energy Losses Because we must measure over a finite energy window ( E) we modify the expression to: e - N A= I A( E) A( E)*I 0 we also measure over a finite angular window ( ) and therefore, we modify the expression to: Incident Beam Convergence α N A= I A( E, ) A( E, )*I 0 and the ratio equation becomes: N A IA( E, ) = kab N B I B( E, ) Specimen β Inelastic Scattering Angle with k AB = B( E, ) A( E, ) 21

45 EELS Measurements 11 Figure 2. The Ti L edges of undoped zirconolite before and after ion irradiation, and two Ti standards (TiO 2 and Ti 2 O 3 ) EELS Results Comparison of the Zirconolite and Ti-oxide spectra suggests that Ti predominantly exhibits a valence of 4 + in both unirradiated and irradiated Zirconolite and that the bond lengths in zirconolite are similar to those in TiO 2. (figure 2) The electron energy loss near edge structure (ELNES) of the Ti L shell is consistent with the Ti changing from octahedral coordination to tetrahedral coordination (figure 3). 45

47 EELS Results To quantitatively measure the changes due to irradiation, we fitted the zirconolite Ti-L spectra with four Lorentzians and calculated L 2 /L 3 and L* 2 / L* 3 and L 3 - L* 3 * (Table 2). L 2 /L 3 is the same before and after irradiation which suggests that radiation damage does not significantly affect the number of holes in the d-band (and hence valence). L* 2 / L* 3 increases and L 3 - L* 3 that radiation damage in zirconolite causes a distortion of the octahedral field around Ti atoms toward a tetrahedral configuration 47
