Description:
Multivariate analysis is a powerful tool to process spectrum imaging datasets of electron energy loss spectroscopy. Most spatial variance of the datasets can be explained by a limited numbers of components. We explore such dimension reduction to facilitate quantitative analyses of spectrum imaging data, supervising the spectral components instead of spectra at individual pixels. In this study, we use non-negative matrix factorization to decompose datasets from Fe2O3 thin films with different Sn doping profiles on SnO2 and Si substrates. Case studies are presented to analyse spectral features including background models, signal integrals, peak positions and widths. Matlab codes are written to guide microscopists to perform these data analyses.
