Abstract

Electron energy-loss near-edge fine structure (ELNES) of group-III nitrides is calculated using a pseudopotential plan wave method within the framework of density functional theory. Core-hole effect and supercell size influence are investigated. Based on our present and earlier work, a comprehensive understanding of theoretical ELNES application in materials research is demonstrated: interpreting experimental spectra, predicating theoretical reference spectra when reliable experimental spectra are not available, identifying ELNES-structure correlation and estimating the reliability of experimental spectra.
