Abstract

EXELFS, extended energy loss fine structure, is one of the spectroscopic techniques provided by electron energy loss spectrometer in the transmission electron microscope. Here, EXELFS is described for its potential use for determining nanoscale physical properties of complex materials. It is demonstrated that EXELFS analysis, like EXAFS, extended X-ray absorption fine structure in bulk materials, provides short-range structural information such as atomic nearest-neighbors and their distances in amorphous an crystalline samples. Some of the problems that hindered the development and wide use of EXELFS were discussed and their solutions are presented. Further solutions and future prospects are discussed.
