Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy of Gallium Arsenide and Other Materials.

Abstract

This report describes the construction and testing of a new electron energy loss spectrometer to study the band structure of GaAs and other materials using the inelastic scattering of 230keV electrons. Substantial progress has been made towards the realization of a working experiment in high-energy electron energy loss spectroscopy, with which to study the electronic states in GaAs and other materials. In the following sections we give details of our progress in the major components of the project: electron optics, electronics, high-voltage terminal, sample preparation, and data reduction.
