Abstract

Several aspects of the modelling of the energy loss near edge structure (ELNES) using the Wien2k code and the Telnes program are discussed in this paper. A comparison of spectra calculated by an older Telnes.1 version and a recently released Telnes.2 program was carried out and some differences in the N K-edge ELNES were found. Subsequently, a case study with ground state, partial and full core-hole calculations of wurtzite AlN was performed and the results were compared with experimental transmission electron microscopy data. A good agreement with the experimental observations was obtained for the full core-hole case with a 2 × 2 × 1 supercell. Preliminary results on a compositional study of Alx Ga1 - x N are discussed.
