Splitting the plasmon peak in high-energy reflection electron energy loss experiments
Elastic scattering of energetic electrons over large angles (in this study 40 keV and 120◦) implies momentum and hence energy transfer from an lectron to a nucleus. Due to the large mass of the nucleus (relative to the mass of an electron) this energy transfer is small, but it has recently been hown that it can be resolved in a modern spectrometer. Hence the elastic peak of an overlayer/substra...
متن کاملTomography of particle plasmon fields from electron energy loss spectroscopy.
We theoretically investigate electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) of metallic nanoparticles in the optical frequency domain. Using a quasistatic approximation scheme together with a plasmon eigenmode expansion, we show that EELS can be rephrased in terms of a tomography problem. For selected single and coupled nanoparticles we extract the three-dimensional plasmon fields from a collection o...
متن کاملSurface excitations in surface electron spectroscopies studied by reflection electron energy-loss spectroscopy and elastic peak electron spectroscopy.
Surface excitations, in addition to bulk excitation, undergone by signal electrons in surface electron spectroscopies, such as Auger electron spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, play an important role in the formation of electron spectra. Those inelastic scattering processes not only induce decay in the peak intensity, but also form background appearing in the lower kinetic ener...
متن کاملElectron energy-loss spectroscopy of branched gap plasmon resonators
The miniaturization of integrated optical circuits below the diffraction limit for high-speed manipulation of information is one of the cornerstones in plasmonics research. By coupling to surface plasmons supported on nanostructured metallic surfaces, light can be confined to the nanoscale, enabling the potential interface to electronic circuits. In particular, gap surface plasmons propagating ...
متن کاملSurface microanalysis by reflection electron energy-loss spectroscopy.
Several basic physical concepts of applying eq. Ik = I sigma Nxt to surface microanalysis by reflection electron energy-loss spectroscopy (REELS) are clarified. Here Ik and I are the integrated intensities of the core ionization edge and the low loss part, sigma is the scattering cross section of element x with atomic concentration Nx, and t is the specimen thickness. The reflected inelastic el...
