Figure 6-10. <strong>Electron</strong> energy-loss spectrum <strong>of</strong> a high-temperature superconduc<strong>to</strong>r, showing<br />

N- and M-shell ionization edges <strong>of</strong> barium, the K-ionization edge <strong>of</strong> oxygen, and weak<br />

ionization edges from copper and yttrium. The plasmon peak represents inelastic scattering<br />

from valence electrons. A logarithmic vertical scale has been used in order <strong>to</strong> accommodate<br />

the large range <strong>of</strong> electron intensity. Courtesy <strong>of</strong> D.H. Shin (Ph.D. thesis, Cornell University).
