Simulation of EELS spectra #155
Description
It seems easy to simulate the results of electron-energy-loss spectroscopy
(EELS) with the DDA. The trick is to replace the plane incident wave in the DDA
by the field of a swift electron.
It is described in N.W. Bigelow, A. Vaschillo, V. Iberi, J.P. Camden, and D.J.
Masiello, “Characterization of the electron- and photon-driven plasmonic
excitations of metal nanorods,” ACS Nano 6, 7497–7504 (2012).
