Elastic and inelastic scattering in electron momentum spectroscopy of amorphous Ge films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron momentum spectroscopy (an (e, 2e) experiment in the high-energy and large momentum transfer limit) is a scattering approach to the study of the electronic structure. The intensity observed in these experiment is, for an infinitely thin film, simply proportional to the spectral momentum density. For experiments using free-standing films of a more realistic thickness (100 Å or so), elastic and inelastic multiple scattering events are frequent and their influence on the observed intensity cannot be neglected. Here we study germanium films where the sp derived valence b t t ©

Electron momentum spectroscopy of light and heavy targets
Electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) measures the spectral function of electrons in matter directly, provided that multiple scattering effects are negligibly small. Even for the thinnest films this is not the case and one has to correct for multiple scattering effects in order to retrieve the spectral function. Both elastic and inelastic scattering effects affect the measurement. Elastic scatte...
متن کاملPHONON STRUCTURE OF AMORPHOUS SiO x BY INELASTIC TUNNELLING SPECTROSCOPY
We present phonon spectra of very thin evaporated amorphous films of SiOx, obtained by inelastic electron tunnelling spectroscopy. The broad features of the results are similar to those found in neutron-scattering, Raman and infra-red measurements on bulk vitreous SiO2 but there are differences of detail. The results show inelastic tunnelling spectroscopy to be a powerful technique for the stud...
متن کاملMeasurement of elastic electron-neutron scattering and inelastic electron-deuteron scattering cross sections at high momentum transfer.
We have measured inelastic electron-deuteron, electron-proton, and electron-aluminum cross sections at 10' in the kinematic region between-elastic deuteron scattering and the second resonance region at six beam energies between 9.8 and 21 GeV. The elastic electron-neutron cross section was extracted from the quasi-elastic data at Q2 = 2.5, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 (GeV/c)'. The ratio of elastic c...
متن کاملConnection between Inelastic Proton-proton Reactions and Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering*
Following the idea that the electromagnetic and nuclear distributions behave similarly for large momentum transfers (as introduced by Wu and Yang and further developed by A.barbanel, Drell and Gilman) we examine the possibility of relating the deep inelastic electron scattering to large momentum transfer and high energy inelastic protonproton reactions.

متن کاملEffect of Ge Content on the Formation of Ge Nanoclusters in Magnetron-Sputtered GeZrOx-Based Structures
Ge-rich ZrO2 films, fabricated by confocal RF magnetron sputtering of pure Ge and ZrO2 targets in Ar plasma, were studied by multi-angle laser ellipsometry, Raman scattering, Auger electron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction for varied deposition conditions and annealing treatments. It was found that as-deposited films are homogeneous for all Ge content...
