Determination of the IMFP from electron elastic backscattering probability

Abstract: Theoretical models for elastic electron backscattering from surfaces have gained much attention in the recent years. One of the stimulating factors is the need for a reliable theoretical relation between the elastic backscattering probability and the electron inelastic mean free path (IMFP) in the surface region. Such a relation would provide a convenient tool for determining the IMFP. At present, the Monte Carlo simulations are considered to be most reliable for a description of elastic electron backscatterin… Show more

“…As a result of this review, the Oswald-Kasper-Gaukler (OKG) model [21] was selected as being suitable for analytical applications. The formalism of the OKG model was further modified by including relativistic effects [20] and was tested in the analytical practice of EPES [22]. It has been found [23] that the accuracy of the IMFPs calculated from the modified model is comparable with IMFPs from the Monte Carlo simulations of electron trajectories in elemental solids.…”
