Ab initio calculation of the XANSE/ELNES spectra for alpha quartz and stish
ovite were carried out using a large-supercell approach that includes the e
lectron-core-hole interaction. Excellent agreements with experimental spect
ra were obtained for Si-K, Si-L-2,L-3. and O-K edges. The usual interpretat
ion using orbital-resolved local density of states in the conduction band i
s unsatisfactory. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
