摘要
The Electron Energy Loss Near-Edge Structure (ELNES) is related to a site- and symmetry-projected, unoccupied density of states (DOS). Therefore, it contains information about the electronic structure and interatomic bonding of materials. In this work,GaN, an important light-emitting semiconductor, is studied. Experimental spectra are compared to theoretical spectra, based on a calculation of the DOS, and excellent agreement is observed when the effects of the core-hole are included. The anisotropy of the electronic structure is also investigated and a discussion of the nature of the bonding in GaN is given.
