Abstract

The following table gives threshold energies E k (in eV) of the ionization edges observable by EELS, based on data of Bearden and Burr (1967), Siegbahn et al. (1967), Zaluzec (1981), Ahn and Krivanek (1983), and Colliex (1985). The most prominent edges (those most suitable for elemental analysis) are shown in italics. Where possible, an accompanying symbol is used to indicate the observed edge shape:
