By performing electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) it is possible to obtain atomic spatial resolution spectra from individual defects. Using the multiple scattering methodology originally developed for X-ray absorption Near-Edge Structure (XANES), the fine-structure of the energy loss spectra can be directly related to the local 3-dimensional atomic structure. This type of analysis allows unique structure models to be developed for defects, on which a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationships can be based. The application of this technique is demonstrated here for a 25 ° [001] tilt grain boundary in SrTiO3.
