AbstractThe optical properties and their modification by crystal defects of wurtzite GaN are investigated using spatially resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a dedicated ultra-high vacuum field emission gun scanning transmission electron microscope. The calculated density of states of the bulk crystal reproduces well the features of the measured spectra. The profound effect of a prismatic stacking fault on the local electronic structure is shown by the spatial variation of the optical properties derived from low-loss spectra. It is found that a defect state at the fault appears to bind 1.5 electrons per atom.

AbstractThe local electronic structure of phosphorus in the binary skutterudites CoP3 and NiP3, and in the filled skutterudite LaFe4P12 are studied using a combination of electron energy-loss spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Relative to CoP3 we observe a filling of phosphorus s and d states in NiP3, while for LaFe4P12 increased EELS intensity indicates more empty s and d states close to the Fermi-level.
