A “floating window method” is proposed to optimize the existing methods of calculating d electron occupancy in alloys from electron energy loss spectrum (EELS) with high accuracy. This method is free of some systematic errors that are serious in previous approaches. The application of this method will throw new light on the understanding of the change of d electron occupancy in alloys and the relationship between the electronic structure and properties of materials.
