Abstract
Kramers-Kronig transformations have been used to analyze the low-loss EELS spectrum of MWQs from which the spectrum was extracted. The spectrum contains information about absorption from the levels to the conduction bands in heterostructures. We have constructed maps of distributions from the absorption peak at instead of using the traditional edges in the energy core loss spectrum. The use of the spectrum has shown an increased clarity in the information gained, and often the possibility of analyzing the strain within quantum wells that contain defects such as dislocations and -defects. It is demonstrated that the inside the quantum wells has a nonhomogeneous distribution using this novel technique.
