Intrinsic excitation effect for the Al and Mg samples XPS analysis

Abstract

DIIMFP extraction method based on the numerical solution of electron scattering is presented. DIIMFP data extracted from Reflected Electron Energy Loss Spectra (REELS) is used for Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) calculations. Experimental data can be described accurately without any intrinsic exci tation effect. Authors propose that intrinsic energy losses were introduced to face inaccuracies due to inade quate description of electron energy loss process.
