Transmission electron energy loss spectra (EELS) were obtained along the line A-B in Figure 3. The spectra were measured with 300 kV incident electrons and the single inelastic scattering distribution was obtained (11, 12). The spectra from the polyamide matrix and subinclusion were found to be very similar, indicating that the domain consists of nylon subinclusions within EPR rather than of two different mixed miscible phases of different composition (13).

Following early transmission electron energy loss work by Bakulin et al. (1971), Daniels et al. (1970) and Zashkvara et al. (1972) and Brousseau-Lahaye et al. (1974, 1975), Colliex et al. (1976b) made a comprehensive study of heavy rare earth metals their results for terbium metal are shown in fig. 3a. The raw loss spectrum is...

Transmission electron energy loss spectroscopy has been applied to rare earth oxides by Colliex et al. (1976b), Cukier et al. (1980), Brown et al. (1984), Colliex et al. (1985) and by Gasgnier and Brown (1986), while the spatial resolution of the electron microscope has been exploited in studying oxide segregation by Dexpert et al. (1980). The main qualitative differences between metal and trivalent oxide EELS spectra in the valence region is the establishment of an energy gap of order 4 e V, and...

We briefly note that the so-called energy-loss function Im(l/e) which characterizes the response of a solid to incident electrons in, for example, transmission electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has a pronounced maximum for e = 0 and e" ...
