Mean free path of inelastic electron scattering in elemental solids and oxides using transmission electron microscopy: Atomic number dependent oscillatory behavior
Mean free path of inelastic electron scattering has been measured with a 200 keV transmission electron microscope for the majority of stable elemental solids and their oxides. An oscillating behavior vs atomic number Z has been revealed, such that within one row of the Periodic Table, the minimum maximum of is observed for elements with completed empty outer d shells. A significantly weaker Z d...
متن کاملExperimental confirmation of the EPES sampling depth paradox for overlayer/substrate systems
Elastic-peak electron spectroscopy (EPES) has been one of the main tools for obtaining the inelastic mean free path of electrons in solids. Recently it has become clear that, if this type of experiment is done using an energetic electron beam (20–40 keV) and large scattering angles, then the recoil energies of the elastic scattering event for different elements can be resolved. This recoil ener...
متن کاملCharacterization of Polyacetylene and Polyacetylene Doped with Palladium
Samples of Naarmann polyacetylene, denoted as N-(CH)x, (unstretched) and polyacetylene doped with Pd have been investigated, being characterized by: (i) conductivity using the four-point method, (ii) bulk concentration of Pd using the atomic absorption method, (iii) bulk density using helium pycnometry, (iv) surface composition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and (v) electron transport para...
متن کاملSurface excitations in surface electron spectroscopies studied by reflection electron energy-loss spectroscopy and elastic peak electron spectroscopy.
Surface excitations, in addition to bulk excitation, undergone by signal electrons in surface electron spectroscopies, such as Auger electron spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, play an important role in the formation of electron spectra. Those inelastic scattering processes not only induce decay in the peak intensity, but also form background appearing in the lower kinetic ener...
متن کاملScaling of resistance and electron mean free path of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
We present an experimental investigation on the scaling of resistance in individual single-walled carbon nanotube devices with channel lengths that vary 4 orders of magnitude on the same sample. The electron mean free path is obtained from the linear scaling of resistance with length at various temperatures. The low temperature mean free path is determined by impurity scattering, while at high ...
