Advanced spatially resolved EELS in the STEM
Abstract
Commercial availability of high spatial resolution STEM instruments is leading to widespread use of EELS and ADF imaging techniques. Future instruments will need to greatly improve levels of stability and accuracy to allow use of these techniques with atomic level precision. I review some experimental results which suggest an urgent need for a 0.1 nm diameter probe with a usable EELS spectral resolution of about 100 meV.
