Mermin Differential Inverse Inelastic Mean Free Path of Electrons in Polymethylmethacrylate
INTRODUCTION Electrons continually interact with the matter around us. We use electron beams for our purposes, either on the side of production of materials or on that of their characterization. Let us think to the many applications such as the processing of materials with plasma and to the local melting of materials for joining large components. We use electron beams also in the electron litho...
متن کاملElectron inelastic mean free paths and surface excitation parameters for GaAs
Surface excitation parameters and inelastic mean free paths of electrons are of importance in the analyses of surface sensitive electron spectroscopies. When probe electrons are near the surface of a solid or the interface of an overlayer system, electron inelastic mean free paths become depth-dependent. These mean free paths and surface excitation parameters were calculated for electrons cross...
متن کاملDetermining the band gap and mean kinetic energy of atoms from reflection electron energy loss spectra.
Reflection electron energy loss spectra from some insulating materials (CaCO3, Li2CO3, and SiO2) taken at relatively high incoming electron energies (5-40 keV) are analyzed. Here, one is bulk sensitive and a well-defined onset of inelastic excitations is observed from which one can infer the value of the band gap. An estimate of the band gap was obtained by fitting the spectra with a procedure ...

متن کاملExtracting the Ag surface and volume loss functions from reflection electron energy loss spectra
Reflection electron energy loss spectra have been measured for silver using incoming electrons with energies between 5 and 40 keV, in a surface and volume-sensitive geometry. Bulk and surface loss functions are extracted from these data and various consistency checks are applied to the obtained loss functions. Depositing minute amounts of Al onto the Ag surface causes a severe reduction in surf...
