Towards Electron Energy Loss Compton Spectra Free From Dynamical Diffraction Artifacts (2022)
Journal Article
Mendis, B. G., & Talmantaite, A. (2022). Towards Electron Energy Loss Compton Spectra Free From Dynamical Diffraction Artifacts. Microscopy and Microanalysis, 28(6), 1971–1980. https://doi.org/10.1017/s1431927622012223

The Compton signal in electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is used to determine the projected electron momentum density of states for the solid. A frequent limitation however is the strong dynamical scattering of the incident electron beam within...

Morphology control of nickel nanoparticles prepared in situ within silica aerogels produced by novel ambient pressure drying (2020)
Journal Article
Lu, J., Wang, J., Hassan, K. T., Talmantaite, A., Xiao, Z., Hunt, M. R., & Šiller, L. (2020). Morphology control of nickel nanoparticles prepared in situ within silica aerogels produced by novel ambient pressure drying. Scientific Reports, 10(1), Article 11743. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-68510-4

Silica aerogels are low density solids with high surface area and high porosity which are ideal supports for catalyst materials. The main challenge in aerogel production is the drying process, which must remove liquid from the pores of the wet gel wh...

Electron Compton scattering and the measurement of electron momentum distributions in solids (2020)
Journal Article
Talmantaite, A., Hunt, M., & Mendis, B. (2020). Electron Compton scattering and the measurement of electron momentum distributions in solids. Journal of Microscopy, 279(3), 185-188. https://doi.org/10.1111/jmi.12854

Electron Compton scattering is a technique that gives information on the electron momentum density of states and is used to characterize the ground state electronic structure in solids. Extracting the momentum density of states requires us to assume... Read More about Electron Compton scattering and the measurement of electron momentum distributions in solids.
