Abstract The Al L near-edge fine structures of aluminum and its compounds with nitrogen and oxygen are studied using electron energy loss microspectroscopy in a transmission electron microscope. These edges are normalized to the same scattering cross section per Al atom per electronvolt. The cross section is calculated by using the Born approximation. The contributions to the cross section are from the valence shell crystal states obtained by using the extended Hückel band calculation and the ionization states obtained by using the electron gas model. The chemical effects in the ionization region are taken into account by in cluding the contributions from the elastic backscattering of outgoing plane waves by the atoms that neighbor the excited atoms. The results by theoretical calculation agree semiquantitatively with experimental results.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
