Si band gap spectra were recorded by using electron energy loss spectrometry with very high energy resolution of 0.14 eV using a transmission electron microscope with a monochromated electron source. The shape of the spectra change with thickness, becoming indistinct at very thin regions. But even for higher thicknesses structureal evolution of the spectra can be observed. A comparison with band structure calculations is given, too.
