Photoelectron spectra calculation in a wide range of energy losses

Quantitative Interpretation of Electron Spectroscopy Signals. Extracting the Differential Inverse Inelastic Mean Free Path and Differential Surface Excitation Probability in Solids

“…Substituting these beryllium cross sections into Eqs. (2) and (42), which define the electron-energy-loss signal, gave a result that coincides well with the experimental data in [36].…”

“…To calculate the energy spectra, we use representations of the targets in the form of multilayer samples, taking into account the differences in the cross sections for inelastic scattering in the surface layer and in the target homogeneous bulk layer, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 9 and by the corresponding formulas (42), (44), (45), and (46).…”

“…The W X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectrum is a superposition of five photoelectron lines, which leads to blurring of the picture, which does not allow the "fine" details of the cross section to be determined. The cross sections for inelastic electron scattering in W were reconstructed from the electron-energy-loss spectra [41,42] only in the framework of the three-layer model, since two characteristic frequencies corresponding to the surface plasmon energies ε S = 9.0 eV and ε G = 14.6 eV were clearly observed in the surface layers [9].…”

“…(37) and 2 The R BS value is determined in accordance with Eqs. (42) and (34). In other words, in the presented method, we consistently take into account the factors related to both the errors of the experimental equipment analyzing the reflected electron flux and the energy spectrum of the probe electron beam D(Δ).…”

“…In a two-layer model using Eq. (40) in accordance with the equation: (46) and preliminary calculation of the and functions for the layer with the thickness τ S , on the basis of Eq. (2) using the cross section shown in Fig.…”
