Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has become a significant technique for high resolution elemental microanalysis and mapping. Theoretically, quantitative analysis requires only one simple equation:Eqn.(1)where N is the number of atoms per unit area analysed; I(net)(a,δ) is the core loss intensity integrated over an energy range δ beyond the ionization edge and with a collection angle a; I(total) is the total intensity integrated beneath the whole spectrum; σ(a,δ) is the corresponding ionization cross section.To obtain I(net) according to current convention and some theoretical justification, the simplest way of removing the background beneath an ionization edge is simply fitting at least two pre-edge measurements to the equation of I=AE-r, where I is the intensity of electrons that have energy loss E; A and r are constants to be determined from the fitted pre-edge region. Several other methods have also been derived for better accuracy in specific applications.
