Simulating electron energy loss spectroscopy with the MNPBEM toolbox
arXiv:1312.0748 · doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2013.12.010
Abstract
Within the MNPBEM toolbox, we show how to simulate electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) of plasmonic nanoparticles using a boundary element method approach. The methodology underlying our approach closely follows the concepts developed by Garcia de Abajo and coworkers [for a review see Rev. Mod. Phys. 82, 209 (2010)]. We introduce two Matlab classes that allow in combination with our recently developed MNPBEM toolbox for a simple, robust, and efficient computation of EEL spectra and maps. The classes are accompanied by a number of demo programs for EELS simulation of metallic nanospheres, nanodisks, and nanotriangles, and for electron trajectories passing by or penetrating through the metallic nanoparticles. We also discuss how to compute electric fields induced by the electron beam and cathodoluminescence.
