Measuring the hole-state anisotropy in MgB2 by electron energy-loss spectroscopy by Klie, Robert F., Su, Haibin, Zhu, Yimei, Davenport, James W., Idrobo, Juan-Carlos, Browning, Nigel D., Nellist, Peter D.

“…In particular, we have studied two different crystal orientations, [110] and [001], with respect to the incident electron beam direction, and found significant changes in the near-edge fine structure of the B K-edge. Density-functional theory suggests that the pre-peak of the B K-edge core loss is composed of a mixture of pxy- and pz-hole states and we will show that these contributions can be distinguished only with an experimental energy resolution better than 0.5 eV. …”
