The angular distribution of the Xe $5s$ photoelectrons was measured in 90--225 eV photon energy range using linearly polarized synchrotron radiation. experimentally determined parameters were compared with theoretical values obtained from calculations based on random-phase approximation and time-dependent density-functional theory. Experiment shows that dipole (\ensuremath{\beta}) nondipole (\ensuremath{\gamma}) vary strongly as a function energy, accordance account for interchannel...
Abstract The surface excitation produced by impinging or escaping electrons is a competitive process to elastic backscattering. It affects the intensity of Auger and XPS peaks characterized parameter P se . This appears in loss peak I ( E pls ), possibly plasmon.

Abstract A brief overview is given on several aspects of applications the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method to surface‐related electron spectroscopy and microscopy. For MC modeling interaction with solids, inelastic scattering cross section calculated by use bulk dielectric function optical constants in a functional approach.

Abstract Reference samples are needed for experimental determination of the inelastic mean free path (IMFP) electrons by elastic peak electron spectroscopy (EPES). High‐quality (microcrystalline mirror) Ni reference were used IMFP measurements. For surface excitation parameter experiments, new types needed. They should exhibit pronounced surface‐loss spectra, such as amorphous Ge (aGe), Sn and Ag. A procedure is presented their preparation. Microcrystalline Ag deposited on highly polished...
Abstract The inelastic mean free path (IMFP) of electrons was determined using elastic peak electron spectroscopy (EPES) with Cu, Si, Ag, Ni and Au reference samples. Systematic differences occurred between the experimental calculated (TPP‐2M) (Tanuma, Powell, Penn) IMFPs, which can be ascribed partly to surface losses. IMFP deduced from integrated ratio sample reference. Experiments were made ESA 31 (ATOMKI) DESA 100 (Staib) spectrometers, covered E = 0.2–2 keV energy range. results...

Abstract In elastic peak electron spectroscopy (EPES), the nearest vicinity of in low kinetic energy region reflects inelastic and quasielastic processes. Incident electrons produce surface excitations, inducing plasmons, with corresponding loss peaks separated by 1–20 eV from peak. this work, X‐ray photoelectron (XPS) helium pycnometry are applied for determining atomic composition bulk density, whereas force microscopy (AFM) is morphology roughness. The component due to recoil on hydrogen...
