Pearson et al. [1] experimentally and theoretically (based on one-electron Hartree-Slater calculations) found that the intensities of L_2,3 white lines for most of the 3d and 4d transition metals decreased nearly linearly with increasing atomic number, reflecting the filling of the d states. Figure 3424a shows the deconvoluted and background-subtracted L_2,3 energy-loss spectra for the 4d transition metals. The edge energies are not shown in order to present all the spectra on the same figure, while the intensities of the white lines are scaled simultaneously for all elements.

Figure 3424b shows an EEL spectrum recorded in spot mode inside a catalytic particle, presenting Rh-M₃, O-K, and Ce-M₄,M₅ white lines.
