EELS analysis of carbon structures Gergely Kovách MTA MFA Nanotube seminar 2005. 05. 09.
Electron spectroscopy • EELS, electron energy loss is characteristical to the material • XPS, binding energy of C1s (284.6eV, 285.4eV) core level electron, energy loss of core level electron
Electron energy loss in solids a – zero loss b – fonons c – band transitions d – surface plasmons e – bulk plasmons f – inner shell absorption edge
Hybridization of C atoms • Energy difference in hybridized orbitals • Broadening of bonds • Also valid for amorphous structure -Pre edge feature in C1s-2p absorption 1s-2p(*)
Core level absorption spectra of C samples DLC Graphite Evap. C STEM at 100 kV sp2/sp3 obtained from peak intensity J. Yuan, Micron 515 (2000)
Polarization of 1s-2pz transition Anisotropic response of 1s-2p dipole transition -> difficulties in quantitative analysis
