=================================================================================

These EEL spectra can be deconvoluted by Fourier-log method [1] to remove the multiple-scattering components from the spectra and then be background-subtracted by fitting the pre-edge background with a power-law function [2]. Note that different from Fourier-ratio method, the Fourier-log technique uses the entire spectra from the zero loss peak to beyond any edge of interest.
