Temperature-dependent extended electron energy loss fine structure measurements from K, L(23), and M(45) edges in metals, intermetallic alloys, and nanocrystalline materials

This dissertation developed the extended energy loss fine structure (EXELFS) technique. EXELFS experiments using the Al K, Fe LThe EXELFS technique was used to study the local atomic structure and vibrations in intermetallic alloys and nanocrystalline materials. EXELFS measurements were performed on FeEXELFS investigations were also performed on nanocrystalline Pd and TiO...
