Title
Multiple scattering calculations of relativistic electron energy loss spectra
Author
Abstract
A generalization of the real-space Greens-function approach is presented for ab initio calculations of relativistic electron energy loss spectra (EELS) which are particularly important in anisotropic materials. The approach incorporates relativistic effects in terms of the transition tensor within the dipole-selection rule. In particular, the method accounts for relativistic corrections to the magic angle in orientation resolved EELS experiments. The approach is validated by a study of the graphite C  K edge, for which we present an accurate magic angle measurement consistent with the predicted value.
