摘要: The electron inelastic mean free path (IMFP) of molybdenum is determined experimentally over an energy range 1-120 eV using analysis X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). This new approach enables accurate measurements IMFPs in this rangewheredirect areoften difficult and highly uncertain, provides a means for studying materials inaccessible through current alternate techniques. can also be used todeterminelocalizedIMFPswithincomplexmolecularsystems,enablingdetailed studyofsurfacesandnanoenvironments.This informationisimportantfordiverse applications physical chemistry including microscopy, spectroscopy, diffraction (low-energy (LEED) loss spectroscopy (EELS) particular). Here we reveal the accuracy achievable experimental data high statistical precision, critically evaluate form IMFP asymptotic region low limit.
