Tutorials for Mn / other tranistion metal white line quantification?

[jat255]

Specifically, this is a question for @magnunor, but perhaps someone else knows the answer...

At the M&M short course, someone was asking for if there were any tutorials/demos on transition metal quantification (similar to the $O_K$ edge fine structure fitting in the existing EELS demo notebook). There's a good reference for this in Magnus's 2016 Ultramicroscopy paper, but I was wondering if someone had an example of this already worked out that I just can't find?

If not, perhaps it's worth adding to the EELS demo notebook...

A few month ago, I adapted an existing tutorial notebooks for the HyperSpy workshop at Diamond/ePSiC: https://github.com/ePSIC-DLS/Hyperspy_Workshop_2025/blob/main/EELS/EELS_finestructure_analysis_full.ipynb using the "integrated" fine structure fitting using Gaussian functions. This was for O edge.

The integration and maintenance of notebook is still one thing that is still poorly done at the moment. It would be good indeed to add a notebook to show how to quantify Mn-L or Cr-K edges, in particular the model fitting approach may be particularly useful for Cr and O containing compounds because the tail of the O-K can be problematic for the Cr-K and background substraction Fourier ratio deconvolution may not work very well in the non-model fitting approach (i.e. fit Gaussians after background subtraction and deconvolution as opposed to building a EELS model that integrate and fit everything: background, convolution, Gaussian function fine structure).
